Comprehensive assistance in modernizing public facilities for the digitalization

Scrutiny of the public sector is unparalleled, given its obligation to serve the common good and be accessible to all. Consequently, critiques of digitalization efforts, especially in areas like education and public services, are particularly harsh.

Ensuring digital security through adherence to NIS2 standards

In the future, public administration and research institutions will fall under the jurisdiction of the EU's Network and Information Security Directive, known as NIS2. This directive, slated to be integrated into national legislation by October 2024, will undergo rigorous compliance checks. Therefore, it's crucial to proactively prepare for these new requirements and enact appropriate measures to meet them. We're here to assist you in identifying and implementing these necessary steps.

Digitalization in the public sector

Network encryption for secure digital communication

In public authority networks, the need for robust cybersecurity measures is critical. Unified Threat Management (UTM) firewalls offer a comprehensive solution by integrating multiple security features into a single appliance. With capabilities including intrusion detection, antivirus scanning, content filtering, and centralized management, UTM firewalls provide effective protection against a wide range of cyber threats. They also ensure compliance with regulations, offer scalability, and empower administrators with real-time visibility and control over network security. By deploying UTM firewalls, public authorities bolster their defenses, safeguard sensitive data, and maintain trust in their digital infrastructure.

Moreover, securing digital communication is paramount to safeguard data privacy, protect sensitive information, and fulfill compliance obligations. Here, our high-speed network encryptors play a pivotal role by ensuring real-time, end-to-end encryption of data as it traverses the network. Importantly, data remains unencrypted at both the origin and destination points, guaranteeing security during transmission alone.

Leveraging over three decades of cryptographic innovation, Rohde & Schwarz Cybersecurity has emerged as a leader in high-speed network encryption. Our advanced solutions defend public authorities against espionage and tampering, ensuring safe and dependable inter-site connectivity.

FAQs on secure public networks

What is digital sovereignty?

Digital sovereignty in the public sector means: Agencies and authorities have complete control over the data they store and how it is used. They decide on the design and use of IT infrastructures and digital technologies and protect themselves from manipulation, risky dependencies, and losses. The consequence: Autonomy and the ability to act at all times. Solutions from LANCOM Systems are the ideal choice for achieving these goals.

What does network security include?
  • The framework is set by a cloud security policy, i.e. authority-specific guidelines for the use of the cloud, including objectives, target groups, types of information, as well as permitted and prohibited services.
  • Proven concepts and technologies are available for the implementation of security guidelines. This includes client-side end-to-end encryption of data traffic, secure data exchange via VPN or the zero-trust principle, separation of networks, access control, and the strict management of roles and rights.
  • Unified Threat Management (UTM) combines several easy-to-use security functions to help with a coordinated defense against IT attacks.
  • Next-generation UTM firewalls ensure a higher level of security by filtering data traffic inside the network itself. Individual applications or groups of applications can be blocked, or traffic can be redirected. This clamps down on the use of risky applications.
  • Protection from cyberdamage comes with backdoor-free solutions, current and exhaustive data backups, as well as security guidelines and training courses that reduce the risk of human error.
