Government Drivers and Challenges
While many government bodies have established endpoint security
policies, they do not have the right security management software
to enforce them. Users continue to run software that is either
unauthorized or is without the latest patches, opening the doors
to cyber criminals and cyber terrorists. Users can also remove
data from government networks via removable devices or media
and if the data is not encrypted, sensitive information can
be exposed.
With the productivity advantages of removable devices such
as USB sticks come significant data protection challenges as
government organizations have lost personal information at alarming
rates. In fact, UK Prime Minister Brown recently stated, “I
can’t make any promises about keeping your personal details
safe”.
Not having the latest patches and not enforcing encryption
of information to removable media can expose government systems
to unnecessary risk and compromise the integrity and confidentiality
of critical information. In many jurisdictions around the world
this had led to regulations and standards-based protocols around
security controls and data protection.
