Cyber Security
Cyber warfare is a reality that all agencies face today. No longer are the primary cyber threats from a single or small set of individuals looking to see what they can accomplish. In today’s cyber reality, large criminal gangs, foreign intelligence organizations, and nation-states as a whole practice cyber warfare on a daily basis. Agencies must understand the continuously changing security landscape and keep up-to-date with evolving DoD and FISMA security requirements.
While networking and IT technologies have progressed at breath-taking rates, improvements in security concepts and technologies have vastly improved as well. It is no longer sufficient to install a firewall and perform infrequent security audits. Cyber defense solutions have been created and are now deployed throughout the Enterprise, which provides full situational awareness and continuous monitoring and improvement. Intrusion detection and prevention solutions can not only identify existing attacks, but also pinpoint new attack vectors.
