Cybersecurity For Government Agencies
Certes Networks has been serving national governments and federal agencies, utilities and critical national infrastructure, as well as enterprises around the world, for over 15 years. As the team in charge of security operations, we understand how challenging it can be for you to meet national, international and industry-specific regulations.
For example, the European Union Agency for Network and Information Security (ENISA) continues to play a strong advisory role in strengthening EU cybersecurity policy development and implementation initiatives. It also plays an important role in improving both cooperation and crisis management across the EU, while serving as a focal point for information exchange and knowledge sharing in the cybersecurity community.
Additionally, The U.S. Federal and other national government agencies continue to advocate, indeed enforce, a more proactive approach to cybersecurity standards, not least through the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST) Special Publication, which stipulates the adoption of a Zero Trust architecture. Given the threat to national security, sensitive data, and our overall critical national infrastructure, governments globally are now finding it imperative to aggressively modernize their legacy wide area networks (WANs), for both cost and agility benefits – as well as data security.
The Zero Trust mindset must be at the heart of any Digital Transformation journey – and that means stepping away from the concept of a trusted environment and a focus on securing the data irrespective of its location. This is where High Assurance SD-WANs change the game, using Layer 4 crypto-segmentation technology to protect and ensure the integrity of sensitive data – without any impact on network performance. With this Zero Trust approach, a High Assurance SD-WAN overlay makes the underlying network infrastructure irrelevant, whether it is public or private, trusted or untrusted.
This approach also fundamentally addresses and resolves any claims that Digital Transformation plans cannot move forward due to regulatory compliance or internal data risk controls.
