    Overview

    Government information security requires flexible, affordable solutions

    The threats to government information security have never been greater. As they strive to provide public services, local governments are responsible for a great deal of personal data and identifiable information about their citizens, and this information is viewed as highly valuable by attackers. At the same time, financial pressures have frequently led to critical vulnerabilities in government information security, creating the perfect opportunity for cyber criminals seeking to compromise systems and steal data.

    In addition to protecting personal data, government information security must also be focused on a government transformation strategy to ensure continuity of services, as smooth day-to-day operations are vital to the lives of many individuals in communities managed by local governments.

    To protect government cyber security and to promote availability and continuity, institutions need government IT solutions that are both affordable to implement and to manage, as budget constraints won't allow for costly, unwieldy technologies. And above all, solutions must help to support government cyber security strategy by protecting organizations from a growing number of threats.

    That's where Mimecast can help.
