Growing Zero Trust with XDR

With dramatic changes taking place throughout the federal computing environment, security goalposts are shifting. A government-wide move towards more open and cloud-based systems expands the attack surface and explodes the traditional notion of perimeter security. More recent events, such as the shift to work-from-home, the emergence of the Internet-of-Things (IoT), and 5G and IPV6 are accelerating this trend. As a result, new cybersecurity risks are emerging as adversaries evolve their approaches to target these growing vulnerabilities.

Federal Organizations Need a Mission-First Network

Cyberwarfare has been described as the future of conflict between nations, whether that action is attacking another nation’s critical infrastructure such as the power grid or Internet, using resources to hit military-specific targets such as weapons systems or R&D programs, or stealing classified or top-secret information. Beyond offensive techniques, our nation needs cybersecurity experts to defend against other nations and make sure that critical functions proceed unhindered.

NETSCOUT Omnis Security

Here are some facts. Modern-day enterprise networks are complex as they routinely encompass internal, branch office, virtual, and public cloud environments. The threat surface is expanding, and the number of cyber-attacks is increasing. The number of security tools has increased, giving rise to siloed data. And lastly, the lack of comprehensive and consistent network visibility makes it harder for cybersecurity teams to conduct expedient and effective threat detection and response.

Operationalizing Information Advantage

Parsons’ suite of holistic training and readiness solutions to Operationalize Information Advantage are focused on delivering commercial best practices to understand and exploit the Information Environment (IE) with advanced tactics, techniques and procedures. Information operations (IO) and cyber-persona effects are only effective if they can achieve overmatch against the IE platforms, user community and our adversaries. Pivots are occurring in the IE – Commercial Platform fraud detection is better; adversaries are increasingly intertwined with global social media platforms and users; deep fake technologies are becoming more and more elaborate and difficult to detect.
