NetWitness for Government Defense
Full Spectrum Cyber Defense for Government & Defense Forces: Respond with Clarity, Speed, and Precision
Industry Threat Landscape
National Security Demands More than Alerts
When national security and public trust are on the line, the consequences of a cyber breach go beyond financial damage.
Typical risks include:
- Cyber Espionage: Targeted attacks to exfiltrate sensitive defense data, technology blueprints, and classified communications (e.g., state-sponsored breaches of defense research agencies).
- Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs): Stealthy, prolonged campaigns that infiltrate critical infrastructure, threaten military readiness, and can lie dormant for months before triggering.
- Ransomware and Disruption: Operational paralysis from attacks like those affecting space and energy providers, placing national security and public safety at risk.
- Insider & Supply Chain Attacks: Threats from within or through vulnerable contractors that jeopardize classified programs.
Legacy IT systems, fragmented protocols, and a growing cybersecurity talent shortage compound these risks, particularly as defense adapts to new tech like AI, IoT, and quantum computing.
Complete Situational Awareness
How NetWitness Helps Government & Defense
Total Data Sovereignty
NetWitness supports on-premises and air-gapped deployments, ideal for environments requiring absolute data control and regulatory oversight. Full-packet capture ensures complete forensic visibility, allowing analysts to reconstruct weeks-old attack timelines.
Unified Threat Detection & Response
Consolidate security operations with one platform that collects, correlates, and analyzes data across endpoints, networks, IT, cloud, and even OT/IoT systems.
Advanced Analytics & Behavior Correlation
Machine learning-powered user and entity behavior analytics (UEBA), combined with real-time threat intelligence, expose hidden or novel attack vectors fast, minimizing the dwell time of advanced threats.
Human-Plus-AI Investigation
Empower security teams to investigate, prioritize, respond, and create custom detection rules with AI assistance, all with intuitive workflows meant to overcome resource and talent shortages.
End-to-End Attack Reconstruction
From initial compromise to exfiltration, NetWitness enables detailed attack replays, critical for defense contractors and agencies facing stealthy threats.
Proactive & Predictive Defense
With predictive intelligence and asset analytics, detect high-risk indicators (e.g., malicious domains, suspicious behaviors) as much as 90 days ahead of adversaries.
