Government & Public Sector Security Solutions
Protect critical infrastructure, secure sensitive data, and ensure FISMA compliance with FileSure
Government Security Challenges
Government and public sector organizations face unique cybersecurity challenges, especially with legacy systems that process sensitive information yet often lack modern security capabilities.
Legacy Systems at Risk
Government agencies at all levels rely on legacy Windows systems for essential operations, citizen data management, and critical infrastructure. Many of these systems were developed before today's sophisticated cybersecurity threats emerged.
According to federal security reports, government systems are increasingly targeted by nation-state actors and ransomware campaigns specifically seeking to exploit vulnerabilities in legacy infrastructure.
- Mission-critical systems running outdated operating systems
- Custom applications that cannot be easily replaced or upgraded
- Connected operational technology with minimal security controls
- Budget constraints limiting modernization initiatives
Regulatory Compliance Requirements
Government organizations must adhere to strict regulations and frameworks that mandate specific security controls:
- FISMA compliance for federal information systems
- CJIS requirements for criminal justice information
- Detailed audit trails of all data access and activity
- Strong controls protecting classified or sensitive information
- Continuous monitoring and documentation requirements
Non-compliance can result in significant security risks, budget impacts, and potential damage to public trust.
FileSure Government Security Solutions
ByStorm Software's FileSure product line provides government-specific security solutions that protect legacy systems through innovative file system security.
Critical System Protection
FileSure intercepts file operations at the system level, allowing you to monitor and control how files are accessed, modified, or deleted.
This prevents unauthorized modifications to critical government systems and stops malicious programs from executing, even on systems that can't run modern anti-malware solutions.
Controlled Access to Sensitive Data
Implement rules that restrict file access based on program name, ensuring that only authorized applications can access classified or sensitive government information.
For example, configure rules that allow only approved applications to read or modify citizen records, preventing unauthorized data access even if user credentials are compromised.
Comprehensive Audit Capability
Track all file access attempts with detailed logs that include who accessed the data, which application was used, and what actions were performed.
These audit trails provide the documentation needed for FISMA compliance and security investigations, with detailed reporting for inspector general reviews.
Malware Prevention
Block unauthorized executables from running on your systems by implementing rules that prevent program files (*.exe, *.dll, etc.) from being written or modified without approval.
This creates a powerful defense against ransomware and advanced persistent threats, even on systems where traditional anti-virus solutions cannot be installed or are ineffective.
Infrastructure Protection
Secure critical infrastructure systems running on Windows operating systems by controlling file operations and preventing unauthorized modifications.
FileSure works at the file system level, providing security without interfering with essential government functions or requiring significant reconfiguration of mission-critical systems.
Flexible Deployment Options
Choose the deployment model that best fits your organization's structure and security requirements:
- FileSure Defend for enterprise-wide agency deployment
- FileSure for MSPs for contractor-managed security services
- Custom deployment models for specialized government requirements
