Security Solutions: Public Services Security Measures

Protecting the public trust

Critical public services such as energy and utilities, transportation, logistics, oil and gas production, and government operations face a growing number of digital threats every day— from both domestic and international bad actors. As public service institutions use digital technologies to deliver experience-oriented services, they face the challenging task of adopting robust security measures and the right cybersecurity solutions. They also need to keep up with changing and stringent security regulations and compliance requirements.

Key challenges

Control access to confidential data

Energy & Utilities and Oil & Gas institutions engaged in public operations possess vast amounts of highly sensitive and private citizen data and access to this data needs to be secure and controlled to prevent digital attacks such as phishing or brand impersonation.

HCLTech’s Data Security and Data Privacy Services take a four-fold approach that protects public sector organizations against risks from third-party access and internal breaches.

Phishing, social engineering, and other cyber crimes

Public sector workers are highly susceptible to socially engineered hacks, phishing, and other cyber threats that can jeopardize critical digital infrastructure and lead to data breaches.

HCLTech’s Infrastructure and Cloud Security Solution ensures comprehensive cloud security for public sector firms by managing security technologies, dynamically securing multiple clouds, detecting and responding to threats, and placing resilient firewalls at every digital touch point.

Cloud security concerns

Organizations tend to enable security by locking down data and restricting networks. However operational agility demands a shift to a secure cloud ecosystem and adds to the challenge of security and business continuity while remaining compliant.

HCLTech’s Infrastructure and Cloud Security Solution ensures comprehensive cloud security for public sector firms by managing security technologies, dynamically securing multiple clouds, detecting and responding to threats, and placing resilient firewalls at every digital touch point to follow even the strictest security regulations.

Disruption of essential services

Inadequate security measures within the IT and OT systems can lead to devastating ransomware or other targeted cyber-attacks that disrupt critical operations such as national security and essential public services. This can lead to severe social and economic costs for public institutions with a long-lasting impact.

HCLTech’s 5-phase delivery methodology for business resiliency ensures a hosted and managed disaster recovery solution that strengthens business continuity despite weak security measures.

Non-compliance consequences

Non-compliance with any regional or international regulations such as the GDPR can lead to heavy fines and penalties for public services firms that can tarnish the faith of citizens and global partners.
