Government

Cyberattacks and security breaches have steadily increased across Canada and the world with the government and public sector being a leading target. Government organizations are greater targets for cybersecurity attack than organizations in other sectors for a few key reasons. The personal data and sensitive and often confidential information these organizations hold are high value commodities to cyber criminals. Decentralized information systems provide for greater access, putting data and privacy at risk. The threat of new vulnerabilities is ever-present.

Based on CyberStrategiez Inc.’s experience we are recommending actions and strategies that organizations can use to focus their resources, be more proactive and start on the path to greater public trust in the face of unprecedented security threats. It is important to establish a top-down strategy to manage cyber and privacy risks across all government organizations. The most secure organizations are able to succeed due to strong leadership and a proactive cybersecurity approach by staff.
