This SimSpace solution brief addresses state and local government cybersecurity for SLTT agencies that must keep public services running while testing new AI tooling. It describes stress testing AI agents and workflows against SLTT operations, training and evaluating SOC copilots, and running offensive and defensive campaigns inside a government cyber range sized for multi-jurisdiction use. Cross-agency mission simulation covers IT, 911 and dispatch, emergency management, public health, elections, and finance, and a separate section covers OT, ICS, and SCADA emulation for public infrastructure. AI safety and governance testing is called out specifically, including prompt injection, data leakage, and model drift detection, alongside the compliance regimes these agencies work under: CJIS, HIPAA, and IRS 1075. The brief notes SimSpace was founded by people from U.S. Cyber Command and MIT’s Lincoln Laboratory. Download the brief to see the mutual-aid and multi-jurisdiction exercise model in full.
