Federal agencies face a massive challenge when it comes to cybersecurity. Government and citizen data and other IT assets are high-value targets for hackers and other bad actors who have a wide range of attack methods at their disposal, from phishing to malware to advanced persistent threats (APTs) to distributed-denial-of-service (DDoS) events and more. Federal executive branch civilian agencies reported more than 28,000 cybersecurity incidents to the Department of Homeland Security in FY 2019, according to a 2020 GAO report.
Building and maintaining a strong cybersecurity posture in this rapidly growing and evolving threat landscape is virtually impossible with ad-hoc manual processes, incomplete data, and a patchwork of point solutions – especially given the incredible scale of systems and data that agencies must maintain.
Federal agencies – and the federal systems integrators (FSIs) that support their cybersecurity services – require a platform that can bring all of their data into a single place and enable 360-degree monitoring, actionable insights in context, and rapid threat detection and response. Agency missions are too critical to be exposed to unchecked cyber risks; they need a robust, centralized, data-driven platform to succeed.
