Why You Need Email Security for the Government Sector?

Email threats in the government sector continue to grow in both volume and complexity.

Government agencies are custodians of highly sensitive data, whether national security, critical infrastructure or information on individual citizens. At the same time, shrinking IT budgets, a skills shortage, cloud adoption and reliance on a wide network of contractors and third-party vendors are widening the attack surface.

In light of such challenges, government agencies need powerful cybersecurity against financially and politically motivated threat actors who try to steal and manipulate sensitive data, disrupt essential service, and threaten the national assets of government states.

Key Statistics:

69% of state and local government organisations reported that they were hit by ransomware, up from 58% in 2022.
In 2023, the FBI reported that government entities were the third most-targeted sector by ransomware.
Between May of 2023 and 2024 observed phishing attempts on government offices rose by 360%.

How can Topsec Cloud Solutions help?

In addition to the growing professionalism and evolving tactics, techniques and procedures employed by criminal groups, there are a few other factors that are increasing the email security challenges in this sector:

All government agencies have vast stores of data ranging from personally identifiable information (PII) on citizens: health, digital identification, and tax information to sensitive commercial corporate data, and state and national level secrets that need to be protected to preserve citizens’ privacy and national security.
Phishing attacks in government agencies are rising, and their impact can be enormous given the scale and critical nature of the data they hold.
Hostile state-sponsored threat actors hack government systems to disrupt essential services, threaten national assets, and bring embarrassment or erode trust in the government.
Hacked government agencies can give access to systems of interlinked government departments, third-party vendors and corporate entities working with them.
Government data needs to be shared between different government agencies and commercial partners across multiple jurisdictions, making secure remote access a necessity.
Government agencies must ensure 24/7 availability of government networks and online applications that provide critical services, such as tax payments, healthcare portals and similar platforms to citizens.

Client Testimonials: Why Businesses Trust Us

We really loved the products that Topsec provided to us. If I were to pull out a product that we are particularly happy with would-be Phishing campaigns, where it creates awareness among our staff for security issues, promotes awareness, and then Topsec follow that up with training. That’s one of the standout things that Topsec offers.

Tommy Culleton

Scandi Standard- IT Security & Compliance

“The Phishing Training was particularly good. We had one campaign, and we had an extremely poor result. I think 50% of our people, opened and looked at a phishing email. We were very, shocked because it wasn’t particularly an important one. But it was a good one. It gives us an idea of how, they’re coping with unsolicited emails and phishing.

Nick Smith

Senior Technician & Systems Manager, Waterman Moylan

Before we had IronPort in place, and the main reason to let them go was that it was not cost-effective, and it was not providing as much flexibility and management to the spam solution. So, that was the main reason we switched over.”
