Government Sector
Government networks are often prime targets for hackers seeking to steal identities, or even sensitive government and military information. Government agencies have some of the strictest requirements of all, and Bulwark Systems stands ready to fulfill the requirements. Bulwark Systems can help government agencies achieve this compliance, and safeguard the information that is entrusted to them.
Why Government Sector want " Anti-Hacking Security"
-
Government entities are directly responsible for many of the systems associated with the nation’s critical infrastructure, and indirectly responsible for many more as a result of being charged with the governance of associated commercial organizations. Furthermore, military and associated intelligence organizations routinely handle highly classified information. So, in many cases, the computing functions being conducted on government networks represent a level of criticality and sensitivity which far exceeds that associated with the networks of typical commercial organizations.
-
However, it is not just those entities involved with critical infrastructure or secret information which are subject to a higher standard. Essentially all government organizations, by virtue of being “of and for the people”—not to mention their source of funding—are, as a result, subject to a greater degree of public accountability and scrutiny than most commercial companies.

Of the policy that pertain to information systems run by agencies of the federal government There is also a regulatory atmosphere in federal, state, and local government that is often difficult to navigate. Sorting through and rationalizing the various layers of legal requirements, oversight activities, and well-intentioned (but often disjointed and overlapping) initiatives can be downright overwhelming. In the United States, conservative estimates put the tally at approximately 20 statutes, six executive orders, and at least 50 other statements or their contractors. The Federal Information Security Management Act of 2002, The President’s Management Agenda, the National Strategy to Secure Cyberspace, and various security and performance scorecards periodically issued by the Government Accountability Office are just a few of the items for which federal agencies must account.
