Dell Survey Reveals Need for Proactive Security Compliance | Dell

Complete awareness of agency network activity is not just critical to maintaining compliance with important government mandates, it’s also a key security component in today’s complex IT environment. Responses to a to a recent Dell Software survey of senior federal IT professionals, however, indicated that half of the respondents are reactive to network vulnerabilities and, as a result, struggle to maintain compliance with mandated IT policies and standards. 

The survey findings underscore that compliance remains both a constant imperative and challenge for government agencies. In fact, 72 percent of respondents reported that their agency must comply with at least three federal mandates[i]. Lack of compliance with important regulations like the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) or the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) can result in serious consequences that include actual security gaps in an agency’s network.
