As local government departments continue to provide critical services to citizens and businesses, they must ensure that their employees, contractors, systems, and data are protected from unauthorized access and potential cyber threats.
Public sector agencies and departments are responsible for providing a wide range of services to citizens, from issuing driver’s licenses and managing voting systems to managing healthcare and overseeing transportation infrastructure. As government continue to rely more heavily on digital systems and data, it faces a growing number of identity security challenges.
Local government, which include cities, towns, and counties, face similar identity security challenges to central government agencies. However, local government often has fewer resources and may be more vulnerable to cyber threats due to being smaller in size and having less mature security postures.
Here are some of the most significant identity security challenges in the public sector.
Cyber attacks
Central government agencies are a high-value target for cybercriminals seeking sensitive information, such as personal data, health records, and financial information. Cyber-attacks can take many forms, from phishing and social engineering to ransomware and denial-of-service attacks. These attacks can cause significant disruptions to critical services and result in data breaches.
