The Government Cybersecurity Challenge

Current SCADA and industrial/process control systems typically use off-the-shelf-products and open protocols making systems vulnerable to the same types of cybersecurity threats for typical computer networks. Industrial/process control systems and emerging Internet of Things (IoT) networks are pervasive throughout our critical infrastructure, and therefore, failures or corruption can result in serious disruptions to the infrastructures they support. Staff and Guest Wireless networks have replaced many traditional wired networks in our mobile culture. While faster to deploy and less expensive, these wireless networks present different challenges. The addition of VOIP communications systems provides additional openings for cyber threats. Gaining an Authority to Operate (ATO) through RMF can be a lengthy and daunting process, and more importantly, ongoing compliance for Continuous Monitoring can stretch the capacity of many agencies or companies.

NIST, RMF, and UFC compliant government cybersecurity solutions.

Resolute Partners is NIST SP 800-171 compliant and our cybersecurity solutions follow DoD RMF processes. As part of our cybersecurity services to government agencies, we provide intelligent analysis of risks, options for mitigation, proper documentation, and ongoing programs and actions to keep networks secure. Additionally, we follow DoD UFC criteria for Cybersecurity of Facility-Related Control Systems and include cybersecurity in the design and construction of control systems. Our team has completed multiple projects for government entities including the engineering, installation, and certification through ATO for 6 wireless networks with over 500 access points. These networks included authentication to an existing active directory environment as well as secure onboarding of visiting guests and contractors. We are currently engaged in obtaining ATOs for energy management control systems on military installations connecting residential, industrial, and Micro Grid facilities.

FAQs About Government cybersecurity Solutions

Government cybersecurity solutions are strategies, technologies, and practices implemented to protect government systems, networks, and data from cyber threats. These solutions are crucial for safeguarding sensitive information, ensuring the continuity of government operations, maintaining public trust, and protecting national security. As governments handle vast amounts of confidential and critical data, robust cybersecurity measures are essential to prevent breaches, data leaks, and cyber attacks that could have severe consequences for national security and public safety.

Specific cybersecurity challenges faced by governments include:

  1. Sophisticated Threats: Governments are often targets of advanced persistent threats (APTs) and nation-state actors who use sophisticated techniques to infiltrate systems.
  2. Large Attack Surface: Extensive and interconnected government networks create a broad attack surface that is challenging to defend.
  3. Legacy Systems: Many government agencies still rely on outdated legacy systems that are vulnerable to cyber attacks due to lack of support and updates.
  4. Insider Threats: Employees or contractors with access to sensitive information can intentionally or unintentionally compromise security.
  5. Resource Constraints: Budget limitations and a shortage of skilled cybersecurity professionals can hinder the implementation and maintenance of effective security measures.
  6. Regulatory Compliance: Ensuring compliance with a multitude of regulatory and legal requirements adds complexity to cybersecurity efforts.
  7. Data Privacy: Protecting the privacy of citizens' data while providing necessary services and ensuring transparency.

Cybersecurity solutions typically implemented by governments include:

  1. Firewalls and Intrusion Detection/Prevention Systems (IDS/IPS): Protect networks from unauthorized access and detect/prevent malicious activities.
  2. Encryption: Protect data in transit and at rest using strong encryption protocols.
  3. Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Enhance access control by requiring multiple forms of verification.
  4. Endpoint Security: Protect devices such as computers, smartphones, and tablets from cyber threats.
  5. Security Information and Event Management (SIEM): Centralize the collection and analysis of security-related data to detect and respond to threats.
  6. Regular Security Audits and Penetration Testing: Identify and mitigate vulnerabilities in systems and networks.
  7. Incident Response Plans: Develop and implement plans to quickly respond to and recover from security incidents.
  8. User Training and Awareness: Educate employees and stakeholders on cybersecurity best practices and threat awareness.
  9. Advanced Threat Protection (ATP): Utilize AI and machine learning to detect and respond to advanced threats.
  10. Identity and Access Management (IAM): Ensure that only authorized individuals have access to sensitive information and systems.

Ensuring data protection and privacy in government cybersecurity solutions involves:

  1. Data Encryption: Using strong encryption methods to protect data during transmission and while stored.
  2. Access Control: Implementing robust access controls, including role-based access, to restrict data access to authorized personnel only.
  3. Data Anonymization: Removing or masking personally identifiable information (PII) to protect privacy while allowing data analysis.
  4. Compliance with Regulations: Adhering to legal and regulatory requirements such as GDPR, HIPAA, and FISMA, which mandate specific data protection measures.
  5. Regular Audits and Monitoring: Continuously monitoring systems for unauthorized access and conducting regular audits to ensure compliance and detect potential vulnerabilities.
  6. Data Minimization: Collecting and retaining only the necessary amount of data required for operations to reduce exposure.
  7. Incident Response: Having well-defined procedures for responding to data breaches and privacy incidents to mitigate damage and recover quickly.

The role of cybersecurity in national defense and critical infrastructure protection includes:

  1. Protecting National Security: Safeguarding sensitive military and intelligence data from espionage, sabotage, and cyber warfare.
  2. Ensuring Continuity of Government Operations: Maintaining the functionality of essential government services and systems even during cyber attacks.
  3. Securing Critical Infrastructure: Protecting vital sectors such as energy, water, transportation, and healthcare from cyber threats that could disrupt services and endanger public safety.
  4. Defending Against Cyber Warfare: Developing capabilities to detect, prevent, and respond to cyber attacks from hostile nation-states or terrorist groups.
  5. Public Trust and Safety: Ensuring the public's trust in government systems and the safety of citizens by protecting personal data and public services.
  6. Collaboration and Information Sharing: Facilitating cooperation between government agencies, private sector partners, and international allies to strengthen collective cybersecurity defenses.
  7. Cyber Intelligence and Threat Analysis: Gathering and analyzing intelligence on emerging cyber threats to proactively defend against potential attacks.
