Use a public sector cyber security strategy to adjust to rapid changes

Exponential change is running rampant in the public sector. In response, one of the UK’s leading technology providers–Softcat – has introduced a new cyber security campaign focusing on the public sector.

Softcat has included within the campaign a public sector cyber security strategy guide presenting the main points that need to be taken into consideration today, while also giving the  constructive advice needed to weather the storms of tomorrow.

In addition to addressing the recent unprecedented changes as a result of the global pandemic, the guide also focuses on how public sector organisations have not always had the ability to follow their customary processes and rigor for deployment. By providing clear-cut advice Softcat aims to support public sector organisations in rethinking cyber security to safeguard their ability to build securely on their cyber security digital transformation.

Softcat’s overall objective is to aid these organisations in achieving continual cyber security success. What can be called ‘success’ will of course vary from organisation to organisation, but the ultimate goal is to help them consider the main areas that impact everyone and provide the corresponding support.

Putting people first is the key force behind improving business outcomes within the public sector means and Softcat extends this way of thinking into the strategy guide itself – which includes input and valuable insights from several senior members of the team:

• Status of the public sector today – Softcat’s Public Sector Director, Louise Fellows, explains why it’s time to take stock after an unprecedented period of change 

• Every silver lining has a cloud – James Seaman, Account Chief Technologist at Softcat, discusses the prevalence of the cloud first policy

• Putting people first in the public sector – Chief Technologist at Softcat, Adam Louca, explores how achieving the right balance of technical input and human output is crucial

• Same game, different rules – Sean Huggett, GRC Consultant at Softcat, offers his opinion and insight into dealing with the challenges of a unique sector
