Info

That's not to say biometrics is a perfect solution for modern security. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) suffered a malicious cyberattack in 2019 that compromised 184,000 images of travelers within CBP’s facial recognition pilot. However, it could ensure that systems are more difficult to penetrate. 5. Security Checks The United Arab Emirates hired three ex-intelligence and military officials from the U.S. in November 2022 in an attempt to breach the nation's security systems. This incident, like many other attempted cyberattacks, underscores the importance of penetration testing. Penetration tests are ongoing security checks that determine a system's vulnerability. Although external tests pose challenges due to less information about potential attackers, they vie for government agencies' attention. Of course, the same can be said for attacks from the inside. Physical monitoring with security cameras can act as a secondary security check to catch perpetrators tampering with government property. In addition, real-time monitoring software can track digital traffic with detailed reporting. 6. Cybersecurity Training A 2020 study by Osterman Research and MediaPRO found that only 55% of employees can detect phishing attempts after workplace cybersecurity training. Only 50% can identify an attack sent by what seems like an email from leadership. However, cybersecurity training may not be commonplace and ongoing in some offices where most breaches occur because of human error. Regularly revisiting cybersecurity training with engaging activities that enhance cyberattack identification can significantly improve government agencies’ security risk. Although it may entail upgrading to more expensive training modules, employees will reap the benefits of heightened cybersecurity awareness with lessons and information they can easily retain. 7. Mobile Device Management Mobile device management is becoming increasingly important in today's remote working environment. Since the beginning of COVID-19, more employees have transitioned to at-home offices, including those working for government agencies. Mobile device management enables network administrators to access security controls remotely using their smartphones. This provides them assurance that security measures are in place at all times, regardless of device location.

8. Incident Response Plan Prevention is critical in protecting the nation's most sensitive data. However, government agencies must have an incident response plan ready in case of a security breach. Similar to a risk assessment, officials should explore all potential cybersecurity threat types and write a detailed plan for each. Having an incident response plan on hand will help administrators regain control of their systems and immediately get them up and running following an attack. Robust Cybersecurity Measures Offer the Greatest Protection The effects can be devastating when sensitive information gets into the wrong hands. While physical and digital security measures won’t provide 100% protection against sophisticated cybersecurity threats, they do an excellent job at safeguarding government agencies from most cybercrimes. Agencies at all levels of government must consider implementing the most effective cybersecurity protection to ensure national security.
