Introduction

In today’s digital era, public sector organizations are increasingly reliant on technology to deliver essential services to their constituents. This reliance, however, has also made them vulnerable to a growing range of cybersecurity threats. From data breaches and ransomware attacks to phishing scams and supply chain vulnerabilities, the risks are real and severe.

The Evolvi

ng Landscape of Cybersecurity Threats

• Ransomware Attacks: A persistent threat, ransomware attacks continue to plague public sector organizations. Cybercriminals encrypt sensitive data and demand a ransom for its release, disrupting essential services and potentially compromising sensitive information.
• Phishing and Social Engineering: Phishing scams, often disguised as legitimate emails or messages, trick individuals into clicking on malicious links or downloading malware. Social engineering attacks exploit human psychology to gain unauthorized access to systems or data.
• Supply Chain Attacks: Targeting third-party vendors and suppliers, supply chain attacks can provide a backdoor into public sector networks. Compromised software or hardware can introduce vulnerabilities that exploit organizational defenses.
• Data Breaches: The theft or unauthorized disclosure of sensitive data, such as personal information or financial records, can have severe consequences for both organizations and individuals.
