Today’s cyber threats are increasingly targeting corporations and governments to conduct industrial espionage, undermine business and financial operations and sabotage infrastructure. A perimeter defense alone is no longer sufficient protection – adversaries are too many, too fast and too sophisticated. Organizations need a new paradigm that combines real-time security resources with a rigorous method of mitigating cyber risks.
Cyber4Sight provides clients – from banks to insurance companies to energy utilities – with anticipatory cyber threat intelligence that allows them to cultivate a proactive security posture.
It combines the science of Big Data with the art of analysis and information gathering to give clients a holistic, forward-looking cyber security program. This service is the result of a significant multi-year investment Booz Allen has made to create an infrastructure that globally integrates data collection, aggregation and analysis and engages cyber analysts from a myriad of disciplines.
The Cyber4Sight holistic scope of managed service centers on:
- All-source data: Booz Allen’s data collection, aggregation and analysis platform filters millions of pieces of data from thousands of sources in real-time, resulting in highly tailored information that includes feedback to continuously improve processes.
- Intelligence analysis: Organizations make deliberate choices to conduct business transactions over the Internet, creating a constantly changing “attack surface” that can be exploited by cyber threats in real-time. Company analysts provide 24/7/365 threat monitoring to produce actionable and predictive information.
- Managed client services: The suite of Cyber4Sight products includes: trip-wire reports, situation reports (SITREPs), spot reports (SPOTREP), daily summaries and requests for analysis and response.
