Governments, at all levels (international, national, state and local) face various challenges due to increased immigration, more demanding citizens and more requirements for security.

• Governments manage highly confidential information, requiring information systems to be operated in very secure environments.
• Hackers belonging to political groups and/or organized crime are constantly trying to breach into government networks and information systems.
• If a security breach is taking place or has occurred, government agencies need to have a plan to quickly respond to the incident. In such situations, it is also necessary to ensure digital evidence is identified, preserved, and analyzed so that can be successfully presented in court.
• Technology advancements must be scouted for new implementation while maintaining assets and information systems that are protected and secure.

To address these challenges, governments and public organizations must include security controls to their infrastructures to ensure the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the organization’s information and communications.
