Many public sector systems were not designed for today’s threat landscape. Integrating legacy platforms with cloud and hybrid technologies increases exposure to misconfigurations and security gaps.
Protect sensitive citizen data, maintain essential public services, and meet regulatory obligations with trusted, threat-led cyber security expertise.
Government and public sector organisations operate in a uniquely high-risk environment, balancing digital transformation with legacy systems, complex supply chains, and strict regulatory requirements. Dionach helps governance bodies understand their real cyber risk, strengthen resilience, and protect the services and systems that citizens rely on.
Government and public sector organisations face a highly targeted cybersecurity threat landscape. Nation-state attacks, ransomware and phishing campaigns frequently target government systems, exploiting legacy infrastructure and weak access controls to disrupt critical services and steal sensitive data.
Reliance on outdated systems, third-party suppliers and complex cloud or hybrid environments increases exposure to vulnerabilities, misconfigurations and supply chain compromise. Combined with insider risk, these threats can lead to data breaches, operational disruption, regulatory failures and loss of public trust.
30%
Government organisations have seen around a 30 % year-on-year rise in breaches, reflecting increasing targeting by sophisticated actors.
11.5%
In 2024, 11.5% of global DDoS attacks are targeted at the Government sector. On average, a DDoS attack on the Government sector lasts 1000 minutes.
50%
More than 50% of incidents in the last five years have targeted the public sector.
Government organisations must meet strict regulatory and governance requirements while operating with limited budgets and skills. Dependence on third-party suppliers increases exposure to risk and reduces visibility across environments.
Public sector organisations handle large volumes of sensitive citizen data while delivering services relied on every day. Cyber incidents can result in data loss, service disruption and lasting damage to public confidence.
Many public sector systems were not designed for today’s threat landscape. Integrating legacy platforms with cloud and hybrid technologies increases exposure to misconfigurations and security gaps.
