Network Security Has Changed

Modernization of government security infrastructure initiatives (like Executive Order 13,800 and the NIST Framework for Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity) create a larger need for data visibility within the network. This is for one simple reason—you cannot defend against what you cannot see. When it comes to threat response, network visibility is security. To accomplish this goal, government agencies need to create a visibility architecture and then integrate that visibility architecture with their security architecture. Once this is complete, organizations can create a proper threat response to protect their mission critical infrastructure.
