DEFENCE & GOVERNMENT CYBERSECURITY

Advancing Threats In Government Networks

With an ever-evolving cyber threat landscape, it is critical that government and defence-based organisations maintain secure internal infrastructure and networks. As threat actors develop more tools to infiltrate critical organisations, Nettitude tirelessly develops robust cybersecurity systems so that data, infrastructure, and networks remain secure. You can trust our service to strengthen national security across the digital landscape.

Worldwide Government Partnerships

Nettitude partners with government organisations around the world to strengthen pre-existing cybersecurity governance networks and innovate new solutions to emerging threats. We fortify every aspect of security for government-based customers, ensuring cyber threats are minimised at every level.

The consultancy we provide is recognised in Europe as an approved provider of services to the United Kingdom by Her Majesty’s Government. We strive in all our services to be effective, innovative, and professional. Our HM accreditations reflect this ethos. Additionally, Nettitude’s security consultants are all security cleared by GCHQ, so you can feel secure in our government cybersecurity services.

Cybersecurity Recommendations For Government Organisations

The scale and importance of data, both government and defence organisations possess and distribute make them an attractive target for cyber attackers. Here are our recommendations on how to make your organisation cyber aware.

Acknowledge The Threat – The chance of experiencing a data breach is high, but if you are prepared, you can mitigate the impact this will have on your organisation. The security mantra for any organisation should be ‘when’ and not ‘if’ we will be breached.

Address The Entire Organisation’s Security – Do not limit security to just the IT department. Instead, share it across your people, processes, and technologies as these are all targets for hackers. We also advise involving senior executives in your security process.

Create A Cybersecurity Strategy & Plan – Create and distribute an incident response plan to your team. Ensure they understand the steps so that when your organisation’s cybersecurity governance network is threatened, there is a procedure that can immediately be deployed. Don’t forget to create a disaster recovery plan; this will help you recover from an attack and help operations recommence as soon as possible.

Penetration Test Your Environment – Penetration testing helps you evaluate your organisation’s security by testing it using ethical hackers like Nettitude.

Remediate Findings – After a test, act quickly to remediate any findings that highlight threats or weaknesses to your organisation.

Stay Vigilant – Securing and protecting an organisation is a continual process. Arrange regular security reviews and never be complacent. As the threats continue to develop, you must develop a defensive cybersecurity governance framework that accounts for these.
