Government
Security and compliance within the government sector is a high-stakes game where navigating new regulations and getting out ahead of emerging threats can be a matter of national security. With more emphasis on leveraging technology to improve intra-agency and interagency collaboration and updates to current FISMA guidelines that focus on new metrics and reporting capabilities, the federal government is placing a greater sense of urgency on real-time situational awareness to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of responses to emerging security threats. Additionally, the sensitive nature of privileged accounts and their elevated privileges require extra attention as part of any Identity and Access Management process as expressed in many security standards, including ISO 27001 and NIST 800-53.
Security vendors are required to meet strict requirements and deliver comprehensive solutions to federal, state, provincial and local government agencies.
