Government Cyber Security

The challenge of ensuring government cyber security.

Ensuring government cyber security is one of the most critical challenges facing government IT professionals.¹ While threats to government cyber security are continually evolving, budget constraints frequently prevent agencies from implementing the technologies and solutions needed to ensure security and to protect citizens interacting with digital services.

Achieving government cyber security is particularly crucial for state and local agencies receiving federal funding for essential services. These funds often require compliance with standards such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) or the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH), which require agencies to implement solutions to prevent cyberattack.

The need for government cyber security solutions increases as agencies look to leverage new technologies like cloud services, big data and the Internet of Things (IoT) to improve delivery of citizen services. These technologies require strong network performance as well as solutions to ensure the security of sensitive information.
