Ask an ExpertEnsuring the protection of national cybersecurity agencies
For national security, the importance of keeping their countries’ interests protected from cyberthreats has become a huge undertaking. Given the growing volume and differing nature of attacks, failure to do so can result in dire consequences, whether commercial, regulatory or losing the confidence of a nation in its ability to protect.
With growing investment in cybersecurity – it’s evident that nations are taking the expanding threats very seriously! But this attention must not be solely focussed outside of those who are trusted to keep its people and organisations safe.
So, when it comes to how government cybersecurity departments protect themselves from data-loss and breaches – the need to securely store and transfer data is paramount.
Challenge
A major EMEA national security department needed to ensure safe keeping and transfer of cybersecurity intelligence data – removing it from environments where the risk of potential compromise was considered too high.
They required a partner who has experience in this highly sensitive area of data protection and storage – with solutions which could be centrally managed and scaled accordingly.
But this shouldn’t come at the expense of practicality and has to complement their wider security strategy – meaning that there isn’t a “one size fits all” approach and levels of protection should be tiered accordingly – based on cost, scale and perceived risk.
Tricky? Perhaps. But here’s how Kingston IronKey did it…
