European Cyber Security for Critical Government Services
Cybersecurity is increasingly important to protect critical public safety services like police, fire department, and ambulance services. These services are essential to the safety of citizens and critical infrastructure, and as such, must be protected from potential cyber threats.
Industry Challenge
Low Threat Awareness
The impact of digitalisation can be seen everywhere, and public safety organisations are no exception, as computers perform vital safety-related functions and are therefore vulnerable to cyber attacks. The biggest cyber security challenge facing public safety organisations is understanding cyber threats and keeping up to date. Public safety relies on communications, which needs to be secured and ‘temper-proof’.
Public safety organisations must invest in secure infrastructure, secure communications, and rigorous training for staff to protect their systems and data. This includes staying up to date on security standards and patching systems regularly. They must also be aware of their risk posture and develop plans to address any potential vulnerabilities. It is important to stay informed of the latest threats and develop strategies to address them.
UK’s national cyber security agency, NCSC has documented examples of public safety related targeted cyber incidents and has published good guidance for public safety organisations to understand and manage their cyber risks.

In addition, Clavister firewalls provide advanced features for intrusion prevention and detection, enterprise-grade encryption and secure remote access, making them suitable for protecting against an ever-evolving threat landscape.
Secure Authentication
Cyber security’s new mantra is ‘never trust always verify’, which is causing a paradigm shift in IT security and a move towards zero trust, a departure from traditional security protocols and how we access online services.
Identity and Access Management (IAM) with secure authenticaiton utilising multi factor authentication and other measures is an important tool for public safety, as it enables organisations to control access to sensitive data and resources. By implementing IAM, organisations can ensure that only authorised personnel have access to sensitive data, and that the data is kept secure.
Additionally, IAM can help organisations comply with data privacy laws and regulations, such as GDPR, by limiting access to certain data and resources.
