Industry Solutions: For Government Agencies

Challenge: Securing government networks and related infrastructures.

Government agencies need to see and control all 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 the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA), is daunting and very labor intensive. Log reporting is currently a manual, incomplete, and costly process.
  
  
• Government networks are typically large and very complex. Traffic to undesirable geographies, illegal file transfers, malicious BOT and worm infections – plus a variety of suspicious activities – 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 expenses.
