“This survey makes clear the challenges the public sector faces every day when it comes to the delicate balance of cybersecurity and productivity,” said Tom Simmons, area vice president – US Public Sector, Citrix Systems, Inc.
“Today, there is really no need for any trade-off, particularly when we consider the availability of secure, FIPS-compliant, Common Criteria-certified virtualization technologies. Industry can truly help government realize high-level data security with no loss of performance, mobility or productivity.”
The survey finds that 84 percent of federal executives believe that cybersecurity measures have an impact on productivity. Key challenges include: discouraging mobility, inhibiting access to information, reducing computer functionality and response time.
