A Survey of Evolving Threats in Public Sector

BeyondTrust commissioned a survey of senior federal, state, and local government security professionals across the United States, with 200 responses and 83% in management roles.

Key highlights include:

96% say their cybersecurity budget has adequate funding
83% believe the American Rescue Plan will boost government cybersecurity
71% expect PAM to maintain or increase its level of importance within 1-3 years
61% consider PAM extremely or somewhat important today

Public sector organizations bear a special responsibility to protect highly sensitive government and citizen information. Without question, cybersecurity is now a U.S. national security priority.
