US Government faces unique challenges when dealing with cyber security as they are frequently the target of international cyber attacks and malicious insiders. Furthermore, the Federal arena is split into two distinct areas with their own compliance and security standards and regulations; Department of Defense (DoD)/Intelligence and other governmental agencies.
The Department of Defense and Intelligence agencies face some of the strictest compliance requirements as well as the tightest security standards internally due to the extremely sensitive nature of their data. The US Army and Intelligence agencies guard some of the most top-secret intelligence information in the world.These unique challenges require a very specialized cyber security infrastructure and resources.

U.S. Federal Civilian Agencies face similar cyber security challenges as the DoD and intelligence agencies, but have their own unique set of compliance and regulatory standards that they must adhere to. Civilian agencies interact with the US population on a daily basis; storing their tax returns, federal benefits, managing their Personal Identifiable Information (PII) such as social security numbers, passport information and more.
Civilian Agencies need to be agile enough to extract citizens data on demand and at the same time keep it protected and secure. Many of these agencies are faced with the task of keeping information secure but accessible to properly credentialed employees. The cyber security challenges facing these agencies requires in-depth knowledge and experience with large complex enterprise IT systems. Wavestrong's security expert team has the federal industry experience to accomplish these goals with time-saving solutions and regulatory compliance knowledge.
