Altius IT's CISA-certified auditors deliver independent IT security audits, penetration testing, and compliance services to federal, state, and local government agencies.
Government agencies at all levels manage critical infrastructure, citizen data, and classified information — making them prime targets for nation-state attackers, hacktivists, and cybercriminals seeking to disrupt public services or steal sensitive data.
Nation-state sponsored attacks, ransomware targeting municipal systems, phishing campaigns against government employees, exploitation of legacy systems with unpatched vulnerabilities, and supply chain compromises through government contractors.
