The modern enterprise, characterized by hybrid and mobile workforces supported by a hybrid cloud IT environment, brings many security challenges to the federal government, its agencies, entities, and sites. They face multi-faceted cybersecurity concerns due to the sensitive nature of their data, the critical infrastructure, and regulatory mandates involved. The distributed nature of operations, with numerous contractors and providers, introduces further complexities in securing endpoints, networks, and data, further amplifying the risks of nation-state cyber-attacks, phishing, malware, and data breaches.
