Government & Public Sector
Government and public administration do not work like a corporation. Responsibilities are distributed, systems have grown historically and many institutions have to work together without being able to give each other instructions. Digitalization and security have to work under exactly these conditions – not only once they have changed.
That security loses out in prioritization is not due to individual roles, but to the structure in which they interact. Security only prevails once it is linked to what has a deadline anyway.
What makes this environment challenging.
Regardless of day-to-day events, conditions apply in government and administration that last beyond electoral terms. This includes a dedicated, binding security benchmark, complemented depending on the task by the protection of classified information and by obligations from operating critical infrastructure. We encounter three patterns in this environment again and again.
Responsibility lies with many
The federal government, states, municipalities and independent institutions bear responsibility in different structures. Security therefore also has to work where no one can decide alone.
An incident quickly becomes a situation
A disruption in a public authority rarely remains an internal matter. It often develops a political dynamic of its own.
The protection requirement is fixed
The need for protection follows from the mandate and the applicable requirements. It remains in place even when other priorities demand attention at the same time.
