The Challenge

During Australiaʼs COVID-19 lockdown, local government in the City of Vincent (Western Australia) experienced severe disruptions. City hall was closed to ensure social distancing, but disrupting telephone and traditional lines of communication for citizens. As a result, the City of Vincent (Western Australia) experienced an extraordinary surge in the amount of messages directed at the cityʼs Facebook page, as residents turned to new ways of seeking information and logging requests.
 
Having received an average of 2.25 messages per month from November 2019 through February 2020, for the period March through May of 2020, the City of Vincent Facebook page received an average of 557.3 messages per month – an increase of 24,670%. It was important for the City of Vincent to fulfill their civic goal of aiding citizens in need, and attend to every message.
 
However, IT teams also needed to ensure that all Facebook interactions were being managed securely, and complying with state record-keeping laws
 
The City of Vincent possessed a team responsible for handling Facebook messages, but the unprecedented scale and velocity of messages was now beyond their ability to handle. Fulfilling security requirements using previous, manual methods of digital risk protection was simply impossible. Furthermore, most of these messages were requests for city services, and the cityʼs Facebook account was having to act as a makeshift switchboard. Citizens were being ignored, staff were stressed, and possible compliance and security issues were going unchecked.
 
The City of Vincent implemented advanced digital risk protection with SafeGuard Cyber.
 
Through machine learning, compliance issues such as hate speech are automatically flagged for review, and account owners are alerted to compromised credentials.
 
This enables the city to ensure secure and compliant citizen communication via social media.
