Government and Municipalities
Government organizations store vast amounts of sensitive data at all levels. These organizations are being targeted by malicious attackers at a frightening rate. In addition to the attackers, public sector organizations are working to meet the demands of numerous compliance mandates that add to their busy operations. Lastly, these organizations are facing shrinking budgets making it more difficult to keep up with the ongoing and ever-changing security demands.
Government organizations rely on the public’s trust, so they can confidently and consistently protect their data. It is imperative that they invest in cyber security and integrate the proper data protections to ensure that they are receiving the most benefits from their information technology systems, processes, and people. Government agencies need to invest in the following cyber security measures:
- Assessments of IT risk
- Secure credit card processing systems
- Secure networks and systems
- Technical security training
- Employee awareness training
- Data flow mapping
- Process improvement projects to maximize cyber security efficiency
- Third-Party Risk Management services
