Cloud computing is a key enabler of digitalization in the Government & Public Sector – with cloud security in place
The Government and Public Sectors’ adoption of the cloud has made it possible for this industry to be more flexible and scalable. It has enabled easier and more efficient data sharing, optimized processes, and the dilemma of limited data storage has been resolved.
However, as public institutions deal with highly sensitive data, there is a need for cybersecurity measures that are compatible with cloud solutions for the purpose of ensuring data protection at every level.
Utimaco provides trust in cloud services with encryption solutions for data stored in the cloud and support for use cases such as Bring your own Key (BYOK), and multi-cloud key management.
