Elect a Secure Environment
Widely-distributed, diverse information systems, lack of expertise and resources, and outdated infrastructure are significant factors that can lead to vulnerabilities in the public sector. At CampusGuard, we recognize these obstacles and are ready to meet you where you are to help reach your data security and compliance goals.
Protecting Your Most Important Asset—Your Data
Developing a Stronger InfoSec Program
Cyber attacks against state and local government entities are increasing as they struggle to improve their digital infrastructure. Phishing emails sent to government workers continue to play a significant role in launching successful data breaches.
CampusGuard can help you build a strong information security program and engage your employees in Security Awareness Training to keep them informed of the risks and how to mitigate them.
Cybersecurity Threats to State and Local Governments Are At an All-Time High
Ever-evolving cyberattacks targeting state and local government entities continue to increase year over year, and it’s obvious why. Several factors can make your municipality, village, county, or state more vulnerable to a data breach:
-
End User Training
As phishing, ransomware, and other types of breaches continue to become more prevalent, it's up to the institution to keep all of its end users aware on how to avoid becoming victim to these attacks. Implementing a comprehensive and ongoing information security awareness program is critical. -
Sensitive Information
Government organizations hold multitudes of sensitive personal and financial information, making them the ideal target for hackers with malicious intent. -
Human Error
Staff turnover, insufficient training, and large workloads mean that cybersecurity might not always be on the minds of your organization's employees, making them more likely to fall victim to an attack. -
Third-Party Access
Regulating the use of your network for outside official bodies or communities (such as social workers, councils, consortiums) can be challenging. The more devices accessible to your network, the larger your cybersecurity scope. -
Outdated Technology
Appropriating funds in your tight budget to continuously upgrade office technology is not a feasible solution, but working with outdated hardware and software increases your risk. -
Hotdesking
Similarly to outdated tech, your office might be sharing equipment or software accounts between employees. This flexibilty could leave files more vulnerable to being accessed by unauthorized users.
