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

The changing face of Government Agency threats

Government Agencies have always faced threats, but organised crime has followed consumers and businesses online in recent years.

Traditional threats such as malpractice and rogue trading for example have been made easier by advances in technology and the internet, as has financial fraud, which is often carried out by people internal to the organisation. IP (Intellectual Property) fraud challenges such as counterfeiting and piracy have also been much facilitated by globalization and the internet.

Government Agencies need to manage information effectively

With the proliferation of the internet, real-time communication and information sharing across the globe, not only has the volume and type of threat grown exponentially in recent years, as has the regulatory requirement governing the way government agencies operate.

And with the same need as private organizations to streamline their operations and become more customer-focused, these agencies also need to manage their information and intelligence in such a way as to achieve cost savings, leverage knowledge and gain market leadership.

As such, these organisations 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.
