George Kamis, chief technology officer for global governments and critical infrastructure at Forcepoint, has said that government information technology professionals should adopt a user-centric approach to strengthen cybersecurity as part of their digital transformation efforts.
In a GCN guest piece published Friday, Kamis wrote that implementing user-centric security procedures will help agencies improve network visibility and address vulnerabilities when deploying cloud computing services, open-communications technology and hyperconnected systems.
He urged agency IT specialists a personalized approach that can facilitate proper monitoring of high-risk information and put more focus on securing users™ interaction with data.
œAgencies must ensure that their security procedures evolve, too, especially as they undergo digital transformation, Kamis said. œOrganizations must move toward a targeted cybersecurity strategy that strengthens security while affording employees the freedom they need to be productive and transformative.
He cited Verizon™s 2019 Data Breach Investigations report that says state-affiliated entities has accounted for 79 percent of data breaches executed by external hackers.
