Overview:
Government organizations face complex and conflicting
IT requirements. Privacy and freedom of information;
accountability and auditing; security and rapid response;
scalability that meets strict specifications—all mandated,
of course, and funded with tightly controlled budgets.
Internally, policy and protocol must be implemented
and enforced to comply with rigid standards, but only
in a manner that doesn't inhibit the service experienced
by citizens. It's a tall order, by any measurement.
With that expectation comes public scrutiny, resulting
in potential public embarrassment and likely legal action
if expectations aren't met.
Concerns that challenge the government's embrace
of technology:
- Defending against complex and increasingly sophisticated
cyber security threats like bots/botnets, viruses,
spyware, malware, phishing, proxy anonymizers, network
attacks, and peer-to-peer applications
- Enforcing acceptable use policies
- Maximizing employee productivity
- Preventing information leaks
- Ensuring regulatory compliance
- Mitigating exposure to costly legal liability
- Preserving network bandwidth
- Budgets
M86 Security addresses all these concerns, providing
government agencies with solutions that deliver the
best value proposition available.
