Public Sector Cybersecurity
Protecting the Nation State
As governments handle vast amounts of sensitive information and provide essential services to their citizens, they become attractive targets for cybercriminals, hacktivists, and even nation-state actors.
To address these challenges our program examines and aggregates Cyber Government best practices from around the world, including:
Private Public Partnerships
Commercial supplier marketplace models that build national capacity.
Policy Innovation
Legislative leadership that informs, inspires action and drives adoption.
Advanced Persistent Threats
APTs are sophisticated cyberattacks typically orchestrated by nation-state actors with the objective of gaining access to government networks and stealing sensitive information.
Nation-State Attacks
Governments are prime targets for nation-state attacks, where foreign governments attempt to disrupt critical infrastructure, steal sensitive information, or manipulate public opinion.
Defending against nation-state attacks requires a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy, including threat intelligence sharing, strong incident response capabilities, and collaboration with international partners.
