DISA Chooses Raytheon's Insider Threat Management Solution
The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) selected Raytheon's
insider threat management solution as the Insider Threat Focused
Observation Tool (InTFOT) for the Department of Defense. Under the
contract, Raytheon will provide the DoD an enterprise license for its
solution.
At the request of the U.S. Strategic Command and in
support of the president's national security goals, the InTFOT provides network administrators and security personnel with technology to effectively counter the threat posed by insiders to the security and integrity of the Global Information Grid and the data it contains.
Insider threat management is part of Raytheon's
end-to-end cybersecurity offering, which provides advanced
cybersecurity systems to protect customers' critical information and
infrastructures from the most complex threats.
"Insider threats pose some of the most serious economic
and national security challenges of the 21st century," said Steve
Hawkins, vice president of Raytheon's Information Security Solutions
business. "These threats could be a trusted individual who knows
internal organizations and could be after classified information, or
someone who is not malicious but accidentally leaks vital data.
Insiders can have the access to compromise, steal, change or destroy
information that could potentially cause disruptions to critical U.S.
systems."
Raytheon's host-based insider risk management solution
proactively identifies and supports investigations of user violations
so organizations can proactively manage insider incidents. The InTFOT
leverages Raytheon's sixth-generation insider-threat innovations which
include:
- Endpoint activity monitoring and control
- Integrated endpoint and network protection
- Innovative DVR-like video replay technology and forensics
- Incident replays that show complete context and user intent
- Policy-based user activity monitoring
- Monitoring even when the user or laptop is offline or disconnected
- Monitoring files and transmissions before encryption, so malicious acts can't hide behind it
