The city of Atlanta’s Department of Watershed Management needed to secure critical infrastructure at more than 30 remote locations with perimeter detection systems and video surveillance. Since there were no engineering drawings to show where the underground tanks are located, trenching and boring was not an option.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology recently revised its guidelines regarding how government information systems are protected. The new guidelines mesh best security practices from the private and government sectors and will have a huge impact on the cyber security of government networks. For the first time, there is uniformity in how the government authorizes both its national security systems and non-national security information systems.
