NetWitness for Government Defense
NetWitness delivers robust, adaptive cybersecurity protection for government and defense entities facing unrivaled digital risks
Industry Threat Landscape
YOUR MISSION, OUR PRIORITY
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.
