Government
Navigating Cyber Risks
Cyber Stats
The majority of government organizations have not implemented security governance or risk management within their IT infrastructures and many have no dedicated cybersecurity personnel in their organizations. Here are a few interesting stats to consider:
- 75% of government entities don’t have a designated information security officer
- 100% of government agencies see their own employees as the biggest security threat
- 70% of all ransomware attacks in the U.S. target state and local governments
- 86% of government entities are not well prepared for cyber-attacks
- Only 50% of smaller municipal, county and township government entities are using multifactor authentication to control network access
88% of agencies have experienced at least one cyberattack in the last two years
Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC)
Cybersecurity concerns should be a high priority at every government agency, including government contractors. These concerns have led agencies to require contractors to improve cybersecurity safeguards.
In addition to adhering to NIST 800-171 and DFARS requirements, the Department of Defense (DOD) has now added a supply-chain security mandate. If you’re one of the more than 350,000 DOD contractors, you should prepare now to adhere to the stringent requirements of the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC).
Risk & Business Impact
To address the cybersecurity risks posed by Department of Defense contractors, all DOD contractors and sub-contractors must comply with the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC). Not complying will restrict contractors from being awarded government contracts.
Predictions & Beyond
State and local governments face ongoing threats from many attack-vectors. From hacking and phishing to malware and ransomware, government entities must navigate a growing threat landscape that continually puts sensitive public data at risk.
