Government
Intelligence, defense and civilian agencies, as well as state governments, are one of the most common targets for attacks because they hold vast amounts of personal information and intellectual property.
Protecting the People
With state-sponsored attacks on the rise and competition with the private sector for skilled security positions intensifying, tensions are running high at government organizations. The good news is that help is available to enable you to fill any gaps so you can function securely.
What the Government Industry Needs to Do
Protect against advanced malware distributed by organized cybercriminal and state-sponsored groups.
Grow visibility and detection capabilities to discover malicious activity on endpoints and across networks.
Identify vulnerabilities across databases, networks and applications (including mobile).
Rapidly mitigate the impact of a security incident with a comprehensive incident response plan.
WHITE PAPER
Cybersecurity in Government
Government sectors are constantly under attack from cybercriminals. The attacks are varied, growing and successful. A coordinated set of security defenses and technology solutions are essential to thwart security threats. This whitepaper reviews the state of security threats, but more importantly, offers up insightful solutions to bolster your security posture.
Reclaim Surrendered Ground.

Strengthen Your Defenses
Protect sensitive information through risk assessments (including of third parties), prevention technologies and penetration testing.

Expand Visibility
Continuously monitor systems and networks for signs of anomalies – both from insider and external threats – and ensure that confidential data stays put.

Boost Security Maturity
Detect and investigate suspicious activities on endpoints, and elevate your incident readiness and response (including with red-team exercises) so that you are prepared to respond if a crisis unfolds.

Take a Security-First Approach to Compliance
Get ahead of evolving risks and standards to adopt a streamlined and strategic approach to compliance management.
