Securing Citizen Data and Systems in the Australian Government Sector
As Australian government agencies continue to embrace digital technologies, the importance of safeguarding sensitive citizen data has never been greater. With personal information, public records, and national security data increasingly stored and processed online, the risk of cyberattacks and data breaches poses significant challenges. Government agencies must prioritize robust cybersecurity measures to protect sensitive information, ensure the continuity of public services, and maintain public trust.
Cybercriminals, hacktivist groups, and state-sponsored actors are constantly evolving their tactics. This means Australian government organizations must stay ahead of emerging threats and take proactive steps to address vulnerabilities. From securing data in transit and maintaining access controls, to ensuring compliance with national and international regulations, the stakes are high when it comes to protecting citizen data and government infrastructure.
Key Cybersecurity Challenges and Risks in the
Australian Government Sector
Protect critical infrastructure
Government agencies posses assets, and systems that, when compromised, could lead to the disruption of essential public services such as power, telecommunications, transportation, water, etc. and affect national safety and economy.
Identify your critical service delivery components and prioritize actions to safeguard them based on your risk tolerance, business requirements, and resources, with the help of the NIST Cybersecurity Framework.
Implement the Zero Trust security model to mitigate the risk of data breaches by reducing the exposure of sensitive information and the potential impact. Never trust and always verify every access requests to your system from any user, device, or application.
Enhance the citizen experience
Process large volumes of service requests and approvals from citizens by configuring intelligent, criteria-based automations to organize incoming tickets and assigning them to your available technicians.
Gain visibility into critical metrics such as CPU, memory, and storage to ensure the uptime and optimal performance of web and application servers that host essential services. Analyze seasonal traffic spikes in government websites, like income tax portals, and allocate sufficient resources in advance.
Analyze the growth of your user base and plan expansion of your infrastructure to support increasing workloads by predicting the requirements in both the short term and long term; thereby eliminating significant costs from late intervention.
Safeguard the sensitive information of the public
Secure websites offering document and data digitization services from ransomware attacks and data breaches by providing real-time alerts for critical security events. Identify any external threats including malware, phishing, etc. with contextual threat feeds.
Locate sensitive information and monitor unauthorized access to detect exfiltration at the earliest stage. Protect data integrity by tracking access, deletion, modification, and permission changes to data.
Gain observability and enhance data security by leveraging our AI assistant to analyze your attack surface regularly and patch any vulnerabilities before threat actors can exploit points of attack.
Modernize your legacy systems
The legacy systems prevalent in many government agencies create limitations in terms of security, scalability, and compatibility. Move away from legacy technologies by leveraging low code platforms to rapidly build and deploy modern applications.
Understand the overall architecture of your legacy system and identify potential areas of improvement by viewing the complete relationship map with technical infrastructure components.
Move away from your on-premises, legacy IT applications and take advantage of the benefits of the cloud. Enhance IT interoperability by seamlessly integrating with our suite of cloud IT management solutions.
Empower your workforce
Deliver a seamless and secure end-user experience to your employees, even outside the corporate network perimeter. Protect your employee’s endpoints with around the clock threat detection, automated patch deployment, ransomware protection, and data leak prevention.
Enable remote work for your employees without compromising on productivity and security by allowing users to access enterprise cloud applications with single sign-on, self-service password management, and access to sensitive resources through MFA.
Simplify service access by providing your workforce with self-service portals that have a built-in knowledge repository and a live support chat window.
