All federal entities (DoD, Intel Community, and Civilian Agencies) are under continuous attack from the most sophisticated adversaries, including nation state actors. Perimeter defenses have repeatedly failed, and it would be foolhardy to assume that this will ever change. Detection systems have recently garnered more attention, but the passive approach still leaves the entity simply waiting for the inevitable, and unable to respond quickly enough to mitigate the damage.

In practice, Active Defense requires a process that includes four ingredients:

• High-fidelity detection: Itbs not enough to just detect an attack: It must happen immediately, no matter from what vector, and without spurious false positives and minor alerts that obscure the threat.
• Engagement: Once detected, Active Defense enables the responders to channel and contain the attack, without the adversary knowing about it.
• Analysis: Now contained, the attackerbs TTPs can safely be observed and understood, and their identity and motivations revealed. High value assets can be obfuscated from the attackerbs perspective.
• Response: With the full picture in hand, the defenders can decide how, when, and where to respond, as well as improve controls to defeat future attempts to use the same TTPs.

By adopting an Active Defense strategy, federal, state, and local governments can establish a scalable resistance to attacks of all types: ransomware, data theft, or service denial. They also can implement control activities consistent with the control objectives in NIST CSF, 800-160, and 800-171/172. With a low-operational footprint and integrations with key security architecture components, ShadowPlex is well-suited to supporting government efforts to detect and defeat all types of attackers, including nation states and criminal enterprises.[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”External Resources” _builder_version=”4.7.0″ _module_preset=”default” link_text_color=”#a21d20″ hover_enabled=”0″ text_font_size=”16px” header_font=”||||||||” header_3_font_size=”20px” sticky_enabled=”0″]
