Among the most critical differences, a worrying 55 percent of public sector IT leaders believe their organization’s digital data is less valuable than that of the private sector, despite the fact that they handle highly sensitive, confidential, personal, and government information. This could result in the under-protection of digital data, and sits at odds with the fact that IT leaders consistently rate their organization’s threat level and risk as higher and wider than those dealing with every day IT issues.
