Email Security For Government

Government departments, particularly local government departments, are under unprecedented strain caused by cyberattacks. From state-sponsored ransomware to targeted spear-phishing attacks, cybercriminals are putting government services at high risk of data breach or financial loss.
‍
Email security can help protect local government services against many of the top threats they are facing today, such as malware and social engineering. It protects government employees against phishing attacks while enabling governments to demonstrate compliance with data regulations of all levels, and integrated encryption ensures that all data sent via email is audited and secured.

Government services deal with lots of sensitive data, from legal contracts to personally identifiable information (PII). If compromised, this data can be used to exploit a government service for millions of dollars, cause permanent data loss and operational downtime.
‍
On top of this, government services are increasingly being put under pressure by compliance bodies to ensure the integrity of their data. With new requirements being introduced regularly and existing requirements continuously changing, it can be difficult to prove compliance. Failing to comply, however, can result in severe fines from industry and state compliance bodies, as well as damage to citizen welfare and trust in government institutions.
‍
Email is one of the top attacks vectors that cybercriminals are using to target government services. It’s critical that local and state governments implement strong email protection to secure their data—and their citizens’ data—against malicious attacks.

Email security can be a huge challenge for government services, particularly local government departments that may not have the resource to dedicate full-time to cybersecurity. Legacy email security solutions are easier to manage, but often don’t provide adequate protection against targeted attacks like ransomware and spear-phishing. Enterprise solutions, on the other hand, can be expensive and difficult to maintain.
