Understanding risk and creating resilient and secure networks is essential 确保关键服务和公民安全.

当世界碰撞

今天的公民已经开始期待和依赖安全, 重要的政府服务, and as cyber and physical risks converge that security is being threatened.

在网络方面, the exponential increase in Internet of Things (物联网) devices and new work from home expectations are extending network boundaries increasing the potential risk for cyberattacks. 再加上, 暗网, 政府敏感数据可以匿名出售的地方, making government systems targets for information theft and coordinated attacks.

在物理方面, 破坏公物的行为增多, terrorism and riots are increasing threats to civic and defence infrastructure and business continuity. 以及恶劣的天气事件和自然灾害, 由于气候变化, are making it next to impossible to deliver government services and keep citizens 安全 when they need it most

在一起, these risks are making it more difficult for governments and cities to remain fully compliant with increasingly strict data sovereignty and privacy regulations creating potential for infringement fines and lawsuits.

今天的现实

新的大胆的, proactive strategies that deliver security and 弹性 are required to address today’s most significant threats. 
Understanding the risks and building 弹性 and security into their networks will enable governments and cities to protect citizens and 操作 and ensure business continuity in challenging circumstances.

不幸的是, 当预算紧张时, 风险缓解措施通常首先被放在切割块上, 尤其是当事故还没有发生在家门口的时候. 然而, the reality is that every government organisation is a potential target for an attack. 事实上, 2022年下半年，针对政府的网络攻击激增了95%,  据估计，到2025年, 30% of critical infrastructure organisations will experience a security breach.   The harshness of today’s reality is highlighted as the United Nations advises governments to work to make cities and human settlements more inclusive, 安全, 弹性和可持续性.

所以, 虽然预算可能会紧张, it’s clear that governments and cities must make 弹性 and security a top priority. Ensuring critical services are available and protecting sensitive data, 尤其是在发生意外危机的时候, 是至关重要的. As well heading off potential financial losses due to cyber and physical attacks is an investment well made. 除了物质上的影响, government organisations need to consider the trust of their citizens which can be badly damaged or lost altogether due to service delays and outages. 最后, 也许最重要的是, 通过提供基本保健保护公民, 安全和保护是最重要的.

技术带来回报，也带来风险

The need for digitalisation initiatives that increase operational agility, 效率和生产力从未如此之高. 与数字化, 政府机构可以利用物联网技术, 自动化工作流, use real-time data for better decision-making and implement smart building applications.

然而, 今天的互联人群, objects and processes also means threats can quickly spread throughout systems, devices and applications making it easier for hackers to extend their reach throughout the network. Digitalisation can also create a link between cyber and physical risks. 例如, bad actors can remotely hack into data centres or gain physical access by compromising an electronic door lock. 另外, IT/OT convergence creates new opportunities to attack information resources and critical building systems.

New technologies can also be used for and against government organisations. 例如，人工智能(AI)有助于预防, 保护和加快对网络和物理威胁的响应, but it also enables bad actors to crack passwords to government systems. 在未来, 我们需要为量子计算的类似情况做好准备, which will help governments solve complex problems but also make it easier to decrypt sensitive information.

成功的框架

Governments and cities must improve their ability to prevent, protect against and react to threats. 什么都不做不是一种选择. Continuing to rely on outdated and isolated networks and communications technologies as risks continue to multiply is not a viable approach from any perspective.

随着政府和城市的发展, a technology partner can help implement a framework that aligns with their requirements. 阿尔卡特朗讯企业风险, 弹性和安全性(RRS)框架包括流程, 政府和城市需要预测最佳实践和解决方案, 监控, 避免和应对网络和物理风险.

一起工作, ALE can help governments and cities identify their unique set of risks and choose solutions to address them; bridge the gaps between cyber and physical security, and 弹性; and help make the case for budget approvals with subscription-based models.
