Government Drivers and Challenges
While many government agencies have established endpoint security policies, they do not have the right security management software to enforce them. The threat of data leakage and network instability or disruption comes from outside the agency walls as well as from within.
Users continue to run software that is either unauthorized or is without the latest patches, opening the doors to cyber criminals and cyber terrorists. Users can also remove data from government networks via removable devices (such as USB flash drives) and if the data is not encrypted, sensitive information can be exposed.
All of this can expose vulnerabilities that enable the theft or loss of critical information. Recent security violations have sparked legislative requirements and standards-based protocols from NIST around security controls and data protection that impact both Civilian and DOD agencies. By developing solutions in lock-step with these requirements and standards, Lumension provides agencies with the ability to ensure compliance. Specifically, Lumension® Vulnerability Management has been validated by NIST as conforming to the Security Content Automation Protocol (SCAP) and its component standards.
