Security Operations for the Public Sector
In an ideal world, when citizens give their data to governments, it would stay safe and protected from cyber threats. Unfortunately, that’s not often the case, as the list of cybersecurity challenges continues to grow at an exponential rate.
It’s clear that governments need to gain greater visibility into what’s happening in their networks—before a breach occurs. However, for most public sector organisations, funding and staffing a 24x7 security operations programme on a tight budget is an uphill battle.
The stakes have never been higher for public sector organisations looking to protect invaluable data from cyber attacks.
Stagnant Budgets
Yearly budget increases aren’t keeping up with growing number of sophisticated threats, as well as the new tools and solutions needed to stop them.
Aggressive Threat Landscape
According to the National Cyber Security Centre a staggering 73% of UK schools have experienced at least one cyber attack in the last 5 years.
Competing Prioritisation of Resources
Compared to highly visible expenditures, adequately funding and resourcing cybersecurity initiatives is often overlooked—until it’s too late.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY
“Historically, cybersecurity in local governments was usually not a high-priority item, and it might not be something for which staff had training. Even if you wanted to bring in more security, a city might not have had the funds readily available at the time. Having a security operations provider allows us to more easily budget what we do on our end for security.”
