How to tackle the most common cyber threats government faces

November 20, 2025

Digital & technology

The cyber security threats faced by government are always evolving, with criminals and bad actors constantly trying to exploit vulnerabilities in government to compromise how services are delivered.

Across the world, governments are working together to identify and neutralise threats, with government cyber security agencies in the UK, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United States have worked together to identify the most routine vulnerabilities that governments face..

These threats cover a range of software vulnerabilities, but the agencies also set out the key ways that government agencies can tackle these vulnerabilities.

These include focusing on vulnerability and configuration management, improving identity and access management, putting in place protective controls and architecture, and improving supply chain security.

This webinar will share insights on how government organisations can implement these approaches. Join this session to discuss:

  • How can government organisations implement the policies recommended by cyber security experts.
  • How can government make sure that identity and access management is implemented effectively across organisations.
  • How government can ensure that suppliers meet best practice to keep security as high as possible.
