Global Voice of Enterprise Security Customer-Government Sector
Perspectives of Government Stakeholders on Cybersecurity
When considering government sector cybersecurity preparedness, most think about national security or military defense systems. However,
public sector organizations widely utilize digital infrastructure across many tasks, necessitating security protection to safeguard data on citizens, government officials, organizations, and critical operations. For non-military public sector agencies, cybersecurity processes and investments typically take longer to implement due to budget restrictions or changing allocations based on the country’s political or economic priorities.
This creates inherent security vulnerabilities within public sector agencies that maintain legacy systems or analog processes that have yet to be digitized. With digital investments a growing priority to optimize resources and protect systems from digital threat actors, many government agencies are increasingly committed to retaining or increasing security investments.
Frost & Sullivan's Global Voice of Enterprise Security Customer survey examines how government and public sector stakeholders develop,
build, and implement their cybersecurity operations in line with their risk posture. It explores the size and structure of government cybersecurity budgets, growth drivers and challenges, cybersecurity threat awareness, and many other factors influencing the decision-making process for new cybersecurity purchases. It also highlights the main technology focus areas, capabilities, and leading vendors government cybersecurity teams use.
This report is part of the broader 2023 Global Voice of Enterprise Security Customer study that provides an overview of cybersecurity solution selection and purchase trends across 7 countries (United States, France, Germany, United Kingdom, Japan, Australia, Brazil) and 6 industries (BFSI, Healthcare, High Tech, Manufacturing, Energy, Utility, and Recycling, Government/Public Sector).
