Encrypted Data Storage for Local, State, and Federal Entities
Few sectors are so pervasive and wide-reaching as government entities—and few have so much access to confidential and important information. From the municipal level to the federal, the layers of government and their respective branches have access to data that must be kept private, whether it is crucial to defense and security or could compromise the well-being and prosperity of its citizens.
Governmental departments are constant targets of data breaches. This can come in the form of international intrigue, non-state actors, inside jobs, or missing/stolen hardware. In the United Kingdom, at Heathrow Airport a lost drive containing sensitive files turned up, including maps, videos, and security protocols to protect Queen Elizabeth II. At a more regional level, a coordinated ransomware attack targeted at least 20 Texas agencies to gather data both on citizens and businesses. Government agencies and contractors working in conjunction with them face an unending barrage of data security threats. This makes cutting-edge security a must-have for any entity with access to sensitive government information.
Such security is not limited to protection from outside hacks, but also requires quality hardware and software solutions to safeguard information internally.
