Being there for the people –
groupios in public administrations and institutions
A cyber attack on a public administration can have considerable consequences.
Because not only getting the technology back under control
is a mammoth task – restoring citizens’ trust in the public sector is perhaps
an even more difficult challenge.
Precaution is essential
To protect themselves from the dangers of a cyberattack, it is crucial for public administrations
to implement robust cybersecurity measures in good time.
Loss of
sensitive data
Cyberattacks can result in confidential and sensitive data, such as citizens’ personal information or classified government information, being stolen or compromised. This can lead to data breaches and the misuse of this information.
System
failures
A successful cyberattack can affect the IT systems and infrastructure of the public administration and disrupt normal operations.
This can lead to significant downtime and affect the ability of the administration to fulfil its tasks.
Extortion and ransomware
Attackers can use ransomware to encrypt the public administration’s
data and extort a ransom.
If the attacked administration does
not pay, the data can be permanently
lost or made public.
Service
outages
A cyberattack can result in public services, such as the issuing of ID cards, the processing of tax returns or the provision of healthcare services,
being temporarily or permanently affected. This can affect citizens directly.
Reputational damage
A successful cyberattack can severely damage citizens’ trust in the ability of the public administration to protect their data and provide services.
Cyberattacks on public administrations can have political consequences. Government officials can be held accountable for security breaches and data protection violations.
Economic
losses
Recovering from a cyberattack can be costly. This includes fixing
security vulnerabilities,
restoring data and improving a stabble security infrastructure.
Loss of trust and credibility
If citizens lose confidence in the security and integrity of the public administration,
this can have long-term impact on the effectiveness and success of the government.
National
security
In some cases, cyberattacks on public administrations can also compromise national security,
especially when it comes to critical infrastructure or defense facilities.
