GOVERNMENT
Secure every xIoT device across modern government infrastructure
Gain visibility and control across government-connected infrastructure — from facilities and operational systems to edge devices, surveillance, and public service environments.
The state of government infrastructure security
Rapidly expanding public infrastructure.
Unprecedented device diversity.
Critical operational risk.
Modern government environments rely on thousands of connected operational systems — from surveillance and access control to building automation, edge infrastructure, and public service technologies.
Traditional security tools lack visibility into these distributed environments — leaving critical systems exposed, unmanaged, and difficult to secure at scale.
About 70% of xIoT devices still use default manufacturer credentials
50% of organizations reported exploits targeting OT environments.1
79% of organizations report an asset visibility gap.2
Why government infrastructure is hard to secure
Government environments rely on a complex mix of connected operational systems — from surveillance, access control, and building automation to edge infrastructure, public service technologies, and facility systems. Many of these assets fall outside traditional IT visibility, creating blind spots attackers can exploit.
From default credentials and insecure configurations to outdated infrastructure and unsupported systems, security teams struggle to maintain consistent visibility and control across distributed government environments.
Unknown devices
Unmanaged OT, IoT, and facility systems often remain invisible to traditional security tools.
Weak credentials
Default and shared passwords increase risk across government-connected infrastructure.
Outdated systems
Legacy infrastructure and unsupported systems create operational and security exposure.
Insecure configurations
Misconfigured devices and exposed services introduce unnecessary risk across public environments.
Unsupported assets
End-of-life systems create compliance, operational, and cybersecurity challenges.
Expired certificates
Certificate issues disrupt secure communications and critical public services.
How Phosphorus helps
How Phosphorus secures government infrastructure
Discover & assess
