Government
Government organizations face a huge challenge in easily and affordably bringing together all of their data to meet today's mandates for regulatory compliance. New standards have been issued to reduce security and privacy risks associated with the nation's most sensitive information by the passage of acts and compliance requirements. These include:
- Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) - Defines security standards for all federal agencies, excluding those designated for national security.
- National Industrial Security Protection Operating Manual (NISPOM) - Developed by the Department of Defense (DoD), sets comprehensive standards for government contractors to protect classified information. DoD has also issued DoD Instruction 8500.2 which prescribes procedures for the protection of DoD information systems and networks.
- Director of Central Intelligence Directive 6/3 (DCID 6/3) - Provides guidance and requirements for the protection of intelligence information. This directive applies to all U.S. government agencies and their commercial contractors processing intelligence information.
At their core, these regulations share the same goals: to protect sensitive information assets, detect potential security breaches, and respond and contain incidents. Each regulation details a requirement for routine auditing of sensitive information systems and personally identifying information (PII) mandated by OMB Memorandum M-07-16.
Specifically, covered organizations must collect, store and analyze security event data and logs from all relevant systems in a variety of different formats. The technical and economic challenges of storing terabytes of log and event data, the "systems of record" from disparate sources of data, are staggering, and traditional security, log management and data warehouse solutions are poorly suited to address the challenges of both data volume and query access. SenSage offers patented Event Data Warehouse solutions that provide actionable results from massive amounts of log and event data.
