ArcSight
equips security specialists across
the Defense Information Systems
Agency (DISA) with the information
and tools necessary to detect and
respond to cyber threats and
attacks.
Business
Challenge:
DISA provides
the IT backbone infrastructure for
the President of the United States,
DOD, and military commands. Because
of the increasing dependence on
information in the development and
execution of the nation's defense,
the ability to see and respond to
cyber threats in real time on a
global basis is crucial.
Solution:
DISA has
standardized on ArcSight to collect
and analyze the raw security
information that is generated from
their global IT infrastructure. With
rules-based correlation applied to
the real time event flow, true
threats and attacks are
automatically detected and
highlighted so that the Computer
Emergency Response Teams can
investigate and respond before
damage is done.
Benefits:
Expert
security staff that understand and
can respond to cyber attacks are
scarce and cannot possibly review
and analyze the millions of raw
events that occur each day. With
automated real time correlation, the
security staff sees the most
threatening events along with the
associated information necessary for
them to formulate a response. Hence,
the organization receives far better
overall protection from the
resources available.
