The Identity Challenges Facing Public Sector Organizations

Nation-state threats, complex workforce structures, and rising NIS2 obligations make identity governance a strategic security priority for government and critical infrastructure.

Nation-State Identity Attacks

Government agencies and critical infrastructure operators are primary targets for state-sponsored attacks. Credential compromise is behind the majority of significant public sector breaches — and the attack surface is growing.

Complex Workforce Access

Civil servants, elected officials, contractors, secondees, and volunteers all require different levels of access to classified and sensitive systems. Manual management creates access creep and accountability gaps that regulators will find.

NIS2 Critical Infrastructure Mandates

NIS2 imposes specific cybersecurity requirements on 18 categories of critical infrastructure — energy, transport, water, health, and digital infrastructure. Identity governance is foundational to meeting these mandatory controls.

Supply Chain Compromise Risk

Government ICT supply chains are increasingly targeted as an indirect route to sensitive systems. Vendor and contractor access to government networks requires granular, auditable governance that most organizations lack.
