Cybersecurity of Government Data

Government organizations are seriously concerned about the security of digital resources. Most of the PCs are protected by modern antivirus. However, experienced cybercriminals and cyberterrorists use targeted attacks and zero-day vulnerabilities. Thus, even a very popular antivirus is not an obstacle to unauthorized access. Existing EDRs are not enough. They are built to detect the malicious activity first, and only then to respond. Targeted professional hackers’ attacks use specially developed program code that never be included into AV-databases.

In addition, information systems are at risk of attack from the inside as confidential information is not protected from the influence of an employee or a person who uses his computer.

There are computers with outdated hardware which does not allow full use of modern antiviruses. Modern antiviruses require a powerful processor, a capacious and fast hard drive and broadband Internet access. Support for the Windows XP operating system has been discontinued. Many computers were left without support for the software installed on them. All these factors could have significant impact on the computer system, protected by an antivirus “for show”. The only uncontrolled possible vector of the attack could lead to serious problems.

The only uncontrolled possible vector of the attack could lead to serious problems. We know cases when government organizations were hacked via USBs. There are also cases when infected USB were lost in the office or parking intentionally.

Government organizations require solutions that can protect data and IT infrastructure against unknown threats, insider actions and exploitation of software vulnerabilities. Any unauthorized process inside the operating system whether it caused by unauthorized program code, modification of existing programs or malicious actions of an employee should be stopped by the security system disregarding the presence or absence of anti-virus databases.
