Cyber Security for the Public Sector

Systematically strengthening digital resilience

Setting up Cyber Security Consistently in the Public Sector

Cyber attacks are one of the biggest risks to the operation of government services today. Ransomware, data theft and attacks on critical infrastructures particularly affect public sector organizations because availability, data protection and verification must be guaranteed at all times. Individual tools are not enough. What is needed is a holistic approach comprising prevention, detection and response, which includes IT and, depending on the context, also OT.

 

Arvato Systems supports the public sector in systematically strengthening digital resilience - with security consulting, SIEM and sensor technology, 24/7 security operations centers, vulnerability management, data security, governance and compliance - through to cloud, data center and workplace security.

Effectively Implementing Cyber Security for the Public Sector

Your challenge

Public authorities operate heterogeneous IT landscapes with evolved interfaces, distributed end devices and increasing cloud usage. Security incidents are not detected across the board, vulnerabilities are rectified selectively and the response often only takes place after an incident has occurred. At the same time, legal security, availability and data protection are particularly important.

The target image

Security-relevant events are detected and prioritized in real time. A 24/7 SOC continuously monitors systems, analyzes incidents and controls the response according to clear processes. Vulnerability management, data and workplace protection as well as governance and compliance are interlinked so that risks become visible at an early stage and operations remain stable.

Our solution

Together, we establish detection and response with the help of sensor technology and SIEM, linked to a 24/7 security operations center. We also implement vulnerability management, data security and compliance and governance modules. Depending on requirements, we secure cloud, data center, workplace, SAP and OT environments and integrate reporting and service processes for resilient regular operations.

Benefits of Cyber Security for the Public Sector

24/7 protection during operation

A 24/7 SOC continuously monitors, analyzes security-relevant events and reacts quickly and in a targeted manner to ensure that availability and protection are permanently guaranteed.

Recognize risks early

With sensor technology, SIEM and vulnerability management, attacks and weaknesses are identified, evaluated and prioritized at an early stage so that damage can be prevented.

Legally compliant positioning

Compliance and governance ensure that processes meet standards and specifications and that evidence can be provided, and supplement this with data security for sensitive information.

Our Services for Cyber Security in the Public Sector

Anchoring security strategy, governance and compliance

Together with you, we develop a target picture for cyber security in the public sector and translate it into implementable governance. We clarify roles, responsibilities and escalation paths and set up compliance and verification processes so that they work on a day-to-day basis. Building on this, we prioritize measures based on risk, protection requirements and feasibility and create transparency about the security situation and progress.

Detection and response with SIEM, sensor technology and SOC

Together, we implement detection capabilities with modern sensors and SIEM so that threats become visible in real time. Our 24/7 Security Operations Center continuously monitors, evaluates events and controls the response via defined processes to ensure that incidents are quickly contained. We integrate the relevant log sources, define use cases and alerts and establish reporting so that the situation, effectiveness and priorities remain transparent.

Implement vulnerability management and protection for IT and OT

Together, we establish a vulnerability management system to systematically identify, assess and effectively eliminate weaknesses. We also secure data, workstations and, depending on the context, data center, cloud, SAP and OT environments so that protective measures are effective across the board. During operation, clear service processes, monitoring and continuous optimization ensure that the security level and availability remain stable and that measures are documented in a traceable manner.
