While that’s a sobering number, it’s also not surprising, given that these organizations are prized targets for cybercriminals and rogue nation-states. And while new technologies such as artificial intelligence can enable agencies to improve the user experience and support other stakeholders, they also open the door to previously unknown security vulnerabilities. The solution to this dilemma lies in the adoption of technologies including phishing-resistant multi-factor authentication (MFA), encryption of data-at-rest and in-motion, secure, controlled cryptographic keys and…
