Each agency and department has a unique set of threats, risks, regulatory drivers and security considerations. CGI delivers individualized security engineering solutions that address architecture, application and data security needs to protect organizations from cybersecurity threats.
While applications provide users with a rich interactive experience, they also represent a window for malicious attacks against the enterprise. Attackers are shifting their focus to critical enterprise data at the application layer. This level of attack can cause considerable damage to an agency and the citizens it services. As threat sophistication increases, organizations must advance application security defenses beyond network security and endpoint protection.
