The threat landscape for government agencies is becoming more sophisticated, driven by the rapid evolution of data and systems. As data and systems evolve, the threat landscape also evolves. It’s crucial to help safeguard your agency from current and future risks.

Government agencies are facing numerous cybersecurity challenges. Some of the key issues include:

• Storing vast amounts of sensitive citizen data, classified information, and critical infrastructure controls that make them high-value targets.
• The essential services provided by government entities mean that disruptions can have significant public impact, increasing the leverage for ransomware and other extortion attempts.
• Foreign adversaries targeting government agencies for intelligence gathering, espionage, and potential disruption of critical services.
• The public nature of government operations and procurement processes can inadvertently reveal security information that attackers can leverage.
• Government agencies often maintaining databases with personally identifiable information of millions of citizens, making them attractive targets for data theft.
• The interconnected nature of government systems means that compromising one agency can potentially provide access to others, creating a cascading effect.

Government agencies face unique cybersecurity challenges due to the nature of their operations and the data they handle. Cybersecurity is no longer just about protecting against known threats but also about anticipating and mitigating emerging risks.

Government agencies are prime targets for cyber attackers due to the valuable data and information they possess. The government and its agencies are attractive targets for various types of cyber threats, ranging from espionage to disruptive attacks.

Foreign adversaries often target government agencies to gather intelligence, conduct espionage, or disrupt critical services. The public nature of some government operations can inadvertently reveal security vulnerabilities, making them easier to exploit.

The cybersecurity needs of government agencies are complex and multifaceted, demanding a holistic approach to security.
