Risk-Based Security Services

Gartner says government CEOs need to adopt a risk-based security approach that will enable their organizations to make knowledgeable decisions about risks in a holistic fashion. That will allow for a wiser allocation of resources, better decisions about the impact of risks on government operations and assets, and the engagement of senior leadership in risk-based decisions.

“The government IT sector needs to continue to focus on innovation in security through new public-private partnerships,” said Robby Hill, founder and CEO of HillSouth, a Florence, S.C.-based solution provider. “We are seeing them happening in small steps – hopefully the ever-changing nature of cybersecurity and its ranking as a continued priority for the public sector will invite new collaborations between [the] public and private [sectors]. Threats are evolving and the need to protect legacy public sector systems as well as modernized government systems has never been greater.”
