Critical Sectors Under Cyber Attack
Cyber threats are no longer isolated incidents—they are persistent, coordinated, and increasingly targeting sectors vital to national security and economic
stability. From power grids to hospitals, no industry is immune. Below are four sectors Worksters is dedicated to protecting with robust cybersecurity and encryption solutions:
Critical infrastructure
Attackers target critical infrastructure to cause disruption at scale. From water treatment facilities to electric grids, the stakes are high. NIST 800-53 provides a framework for securing
operational technology and control systems.
Applicable Certification: NIST SP 800-53
Healthcare
With sensitive patient data and lifesaving systems online, healthcare organizations must meet strict privacy and security standards. HIPAA compliance is essential, and strong encryption adds
another layer of defense to prevent breaches.
Applicable Certification: HIPAA Security Rule
Financial Institutions
Financial systems must protect against fraud, data theft, and insider threats. Encryption, network segmentation, and regular audits are key—backed by PCI DSS standards that govern payment card
data protection.
Applicable Certification: PCI DSS
Government
Government networks are under continuous threat from nation-state actors. The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) 2.0 ensures that contractors and agencies implement best practices
to secure federal data and operations.
Applicable Certification: CMMC 2.0
