Innovation in technology has allowed the Public Sector to expand large-scale IT initiatives including infrastructure modernization, public service delivery, data accessibility and more. However, these advancements also pose a potential threat to national security and the privacy of citizen’s personal data.
Technology policies have been developed to guide development and investment of Government agencies in the research and development of various IT initiatives. These policies help regulate and govern both new and existing technologies while still promoting opportunities for economic growth and global competition.
