Today, it takes an average of 277 days to identify and contain a single attack, according to research from IBM and Ponemon Institute.

Improving response times requires streamlined, secure collaboration and coordination amongst several different—often siloed—parts of an organization. If IT, security, legal, communications, and other business units can break these silos and work more closely together they’ll be able to respond more effectively and efficiently. This can ultimately save businesses money and mitigate reputational damage and help government agencies limit the potential blast radius of a cyberattack.

Fortunately, it is possible to substantially shorten the time it takes to respond to and successfully contain a cybersecurity incident. Find out how.

Does your security team need a dedicated, out-of-band IT collaboration tool?

Chat tools are today what email was 20 years ago: An indispensable repository of organizational knowledge and the first line of connection between teams and their systems.

But it’s not enough for highly technical, complex organizations to have general chat tools at their disposal. They need a collaboration hub that consolidates all the information their IT teams require to accelerate mission-critical work without sacrificing security.

Barry Duplantis, Vice President & General Manager of North America Public Sector at Mattermost, was recently named a top public sector leader to watch in 2024.

In this article, Duplantis outlines the three key challenges he sees public sector agencies facing in 2024: adopting a zero trust mentality, formulating an effective and secure approach to AI and ML, and prioritizing secure collaboration.

“Given the current rate of innovation and the growing use of artificial intelligence, our public sector agencies must have a secure environment to collaborate, test and implement new tools to remain competitive in the global race for technological supremacy,” Duplantis said. “I’m proud of how the work we do at Mattermost helps ensure our agencies are able to be innovation leaders.”
