Whitepaper: Evolving Security Threats and Best Practices for Government Organizations

Data breaches and security incidents continue to impact the Canadian government sector. As agencies and departments face a growing number of security events, IT security services in Vancouver and across Ontario are needed more than ever. From malicious threats on a global scale to internal and operational errors, government entities need to adopt new security services to meet evolving attack vectors.

Government agencies deal with highly confidential and personal data every day. Attacks and disruptions occur across locations and scales, with federal, provincial, and municipal bodies all under fire. Local governments face specific problems in this environment.

This whitepaper discusses the following topics:

• Why government agencies are under fire
• Emerging cybersecurity trends
• Government entities face threats from many angles
• Cybersecurity best practices for government organizations
