Information Security

Overview

With more government business conducted electronically, state and local agencies face rising threats and privacy concerns.  The risk of data being compromised is greater than ever and can lead to huge liabilities, hefty fines, and bad press.  Security for mission-critical applications involving tax information, medical records, electronic prescriptions, and other private and sensitive data is critical.

At NYSTEC, we understand that information security is a process that must be built in, not bolted on.  Security must address threats with multiple layers of controls.  It must be a continuous effort encompassing policy, process, procedure, education, monitoring, and enforcement.

Thanks to our in-depth experience with federal and state regulations and policies, NYSTEC is uniquely positioned to help you develop a layered security strategy that will increase the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of your IT systems.
