Government Network & Internet Security Overview
Secured networks and systems are essential to the missions of both defense and civilian public sector organizations. Webroot's solutions provide a multi-layered approach to government network security. The first layer ensures that users do not access bad websites or that bad IPs are allowed to gain access to government systems. The second layer of government computer security ensures that any malware that is somehow introduced to the user environment is detected, blocked from execution and removed. The third layer is the ability to provide the government agency with real-time visibility of the threat landscape of their online user base and perform the appropriate risk assessments/actions. Webroot's security solutions can play a critical role in strengthening the defense of these networks and system and help to safeguard the privacy and confidentiality of critical data for government employees and their constituents.
