Automatically Identify and Remediate
Vulnerabilities and Ensure Data Protection and Compliance
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.
