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.

Strengthen mission resilience with unified threat detection, investigation, and response across government and defense environments.
