This is primarily due to the wealth of valuable and sensitive data they hold, as well as the possibility of causing political damage or making geopolitical gains. Successful attacks on these organisations can lead to widespread disruption for any citizens affected, so they must be strongly protected
Cybercriminals are quick to identify any vulnerabilities within a public sector organisation’s network. Due to this, any vulnerabilities must be quickly identified and remediated. It’s also common for attackers to utilise ransomware and other forms of social engineering to gain access to networks and extract ransoms in the form of data or money. Web applications utilised by these organisations are another common point of entry that needs to be strictly secured
The public sector also has to deal with nation-state attackers that are constantly looking to compromise government networks, gain access to sensitive national intelligence documentation, or make geopolitical gains by causing disruption. Organisations within this sector must maintain a state-of-the-art cyber security strategy and infrastructure to ensure they are properly protected

A cyber security strategy built around the SOC Triad and backed up by our 24x7x365 global SOC ensures that even the most advanced attackers can’t breach sensitive networks and demand ransoms
