Government Transformation Strategy

Email services and government transformation strategy

Officeholders and administrators at every level of government worldwide are engaged in the task of developing government transformation strategy to streamline government operations, improve outcomes and make government services more accessible to citizens.

As part of their government transformation strategy, many governments are turning to digital services to reduce costs, improve efficiency and enhance constituent communication. And because email services plays a critical role in government IT solutions, government IT administrators are seeking solutions to ensure government cyber security by defending email from cyber threats and protecting PII (personally identifiable information) of citizens.

The challenge is great. Because email is central to every aspect of government operations and communications, it has become a favorite target of cyber criminals. Threats like ransomware, impersonation attacks and spear-phishing continue to plague governments at every level, compromising government information security and threatening the privacy of individual citizens who use government services.

Beyond email security, email continuity is also critical to government transformation strategy, as it helps to ensure that citizens have access to government services even during outages, disasters and cyberattacks. And email retention and management plays a significant role in government transformation strategy as well, helping to ensure that email archives conform with regulatory frameworks and are available for e-discovery when needed.
