Industry Solutions: For Government

Challenge: Securing government networks

Government agencies are challenged by the need to see and control threatening activity across their distributed network and security infrastructures.

Specific security management challenges faced by local, state and federal government agencies include:


  • Enforcing agency-wide internal security policies and demonstrating compliance with the growing array of audit and regulatory requirements such as FISMA and NIST is daunting – and very labor intensive. Log reporting is currently manual, incomplete and costly

  • Government networks are typically large and complex. Government agencies are not monitoring internal network activity for suspicious behavior and security threats. Traffic to undesirable geographies, illegal file transfers, malicious BOT infections and Worm infections currently go undetected

  • Networked systems output millions of network and security logs every day. Government analysts are overwhelmed collecting and analyzing these log files. The result? Missed threats, data theft and unreasonable operational expense
