Government Agencies

Government departments and organizations representing the interests of its members – all carry out a different and unique service to either the public and/or its member organizations.  Collectively, they are charged with protecting the public and legitimate businesses from threats.

Government agencies all have a similar need to manage large quantities of data, and use it within a central investigation or intelligence function which analyzes and responds to potential threats. With the proliferation of the internet and real-time communication and information sharing across the globe, not only has the volume and type of threat grown exponentially in recent years, but also the regulatory requirement governing the way government agencies operate.

Government agencies have always faced threats, but organized crime has followed consumers and businesses online in recent years.  Traditional threats such as malpractice and trading fraud for example have been made easier by advances in technology and the internet, as has financial fraud and identity theft, which is often carried out by people internal to the organization.  Intellectual Property (IP) fraud, counterfeiting and piracy have also been facilitated by globalization and the internet.

Burgeoning regulations and constant threats are not the only pressure faced by government agencies.  Government agencies similar to commercial organizations need to streamline their operations and become more customer-focused, these agencies need to manage their information to benefit from cost savings, leverage knowledge and gain market leadership.
