How does Exaprotect’s unique approach to Information Security Management help you to meet the challenges specific to Government and the Public Sector?

Bulletproof data security: Logically, the IT security systems and architecture of a government department or agency must replicate the protection afforded by a secure facility. Exaprotect’s approach incorporates a powerful SIEM system that correlates thousands of events per second from across the network – both at the perimeter and internally - and flags up the security alerts that require urgent remediation. The change management technology is then used to instantly change device settings and modify your security policy in direct response to the threat. The changes made are also recorded and annotated for management and tracking purposes.

Legacy equipment: When structural changes occur, public organizations often have to deal with legacy equipment that needs to be made interoperable quickly. Exaprotect’s ability to deploy rapidly and assist in the large-scale migration from / to multivendor security devices greatly accelerates integration projects, achieving massive cost savings.

Workflow: In many public agencies (particularly in the military), security deployments need to go through a reviewing and validation process that requires security policies and roles to be clearly defined at all levels of the hierarchy and not just within the security operations center. Exaprotect’s role-based approach to security information and event management combined with clear reporting structures that can be viewed across an entire network provides a flexible, comprehensive method of achieving this aim. In addition, Exaprotect’s security management products are being certified to common security criteria.

e-Government: Recent 'e-Government' initiatives around the world are driving public agencies to open up their networks and give constituents online access to services and information, which increases the risks of intrusion. Exaprotect’s real-time network security and threat monitoring/reporting technology combines with a security policy change management component to combat hacking, data leakage and prohibited/malicious activity of all kinds as it actually happens.

Configuring regional offices: Most government departments and public sector organizations today have regional offices spread across the country. They need to ensure that the same security policies are consistently enforced across their network resources at all times. Exaprotect products help you to achieve a consistent and effective security stance based on your adopted control framework – no matter how widely-spread your IT infrastructure or from where and how it is managed.



Extranet configuration: Complex extranet configurations are a growing feature of government and public sector networks as factors such as home working and communication within public/private partnerships drives network development. ChangeManager facilitates and greatly accelerates VPN configuration times and enables you to visually track the development of your security policy controls, while EventManager can monitor correct and secure usage of these.

Regulation compliance: Government is under immense pressure to be compliant with a growing number of regulatory regimes whose requirements are document-intensive and time-consuming. Exaprotect’s reports and configuration details can provide important documentation to support these requirements.

Organizations are subject to an extensive range of regulatory requirements, which directly impact information security management. Exaprotect has adopted a thorough and flexible approach to supporting network security frameworks, helping you to achieve and demonstrate compliance by mapping our security technologies to your chosen controls (CoBIT, ITIL, ISO 27001, etc) and linking these to detailed regulatory requirements.
