Cybersecurity for Government and Public Services

Cybersecurity for Government

Keeping critical public services safe, secure and resilient

Government departments and public sector bodies are under sustained cyberattack. Sophisticated ransomware, phishing, and nation-state threats are rising.

Cyber criminals target some of the very weaknesses our public sector faces in abundance. Like under-resourced IT teams, ageing IT infrastructure, and high-value citizen and other data.

Cyberattacks against UK government and public sector organisations are increasing and the risk of service disruption or data breach has never been higher.

Understanding the public sector cybersecurity challenge

Cybersecurity in the public sector is uniquely complex. Every organisation faces its own distinct challenges:

  • Sensitive data spread across diverse systems
  • Legacy infrastructure and fragmented procurement
  • Limited budgets and stringent business case requirements
  • IT and cybersecurity skill shortages and vacancies
  • Compliance with standards like Cyber Essentials and NCSC guidance
  • Increasing cyber insurance and audit pressures

Aura understands this environment. We help public sector organisations to address risk without adding complexity. Our teams become part of our client’s team, working in close partnership to ensure strong defences and constant vigilance.
