The Customer
The ICT Division of a police force is a critical component, operating directly under the Chief of Police. With sensitive state data at stake, it’s critical to protect critical systems from evolving threats, despite limited staff resources. This division plays a crucial role in modernizing the force by utilizing information and communication technology (ICT). It is also responsible for overseeing the use of ICT to ensure security and effectiveness.
Challenge
As an institution that holds sensitive state data, a police force has a significant responsibility in maintaining cybersecurity. However, there are substantial challenges in this area, particularly with penetration testing. Cybercriminals continuously develop new tactics and techniques, forcing the police force to adapt and update its defense systems. Identifying security gaps before hackers exploit them is critical, yet manual testing cannot keep pace with the speed of new threats. Evaluating whether existing systems can effectively protect data and infrastructure is another hurdle, as outdated tools often fall short against sophisticated attacks.
