8 Essential Cybersecurity Considerations for Government Agencies By Zac Amos, Features Editor, ReHack The federal government is a frequent target for cyberattacks, warding off thousands of attempted breaches daily. According to the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO), the Department of Homeland Security reported 32,000 cyber incidents in 2021. Approximately 31% derived from improper device usage, with phishing accounting for 9%. Unidentified attackers made up the highest number of cyberattacks at 48%. From minor threats to more sophisticated infringements on intellectual property, government agencies across the United States should consider the following eight most advanced protections to ensure optimal data security.

1. Risk Assessment Government agencies can best protect their systems by integrating adequate security functions. However, they must assess criminal opportunities for data breaches before they can do anything else. Including physical and digital security vulnerabilities is essential when conducting a risk assessment. Bad players are particularly adept at infiltrating systems and exploiting sensitive information. Using the results of a risk assessment will allow government officials to create a comprehensive cybersecurity plan to serve as a blueprint for cyber protection. 2. Access Control Limiting digital and physical infrastructural access to essential personnel, contract workers, and vendors is another way to reduce cybersecurity risks. For instance, agencies can issue special permissions to document management systems that restrict entry and maintain better control over workflow. Only the employees who require specific information to complete their tasks will be given those permissions. Government officials might design an access control protocol to designate employee digital access at various levels, depending on their roles. 3. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning The latest cybersecurity tools utilize artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning programs. These tools focus on behavioral analytics to identify cybercriminals in action and prevent damage to intellectual property. AI and machine learning work across various digital domains to halt threats against networks, file storage, and devices using analytic mechanisms that learn human behaviors over time. 4. Multi-Authentication Because hackers are as sophisticated as they are, information technology systems have integrated multiauthentication access. For many organizations, multiple keys of entry provide an extra layer of passcode protection. For instance, some systems might use a combination of passwords and biometrics, like fingerprint or facial recognition.
