According to the White House, strengthening the cybersecurity of federal networks, systems, and data is one of the most important challenges the United States faces as a nation.
Controlling, monitoring, and auditing privileged access is extremely important to accomplish this mission by mitigating the risks posed by insider threats, preventing data breaches, and meeting compliance requirements.
The government has implemented a wide variety of mandates and programs to keep pace with the constantly evolving and emerging threat landscape.
With BeyondTrust, a Platinum Award Winner in the 2019 ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security Awards Program, agencies can keep pace, cost-effectively reduce IT security risk, confidently embrace innovation, and simplify the path to meet federal compliance mandates.
These federal compliance mandates include:
- FISMA SP 800-53, SP 800-171, and SP 800-137
- NIST Cybersecurity Strategy & Implementation Plan (CSIP)
- NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF)
- Continuous Diagnostics & Mitigation (CDM) Program
- Department of Defense (DoD)
- Cybersecurity Discipline Implementation & Scorecard
- Cybersecurity Strategy & Implementation Plan (CSIP)
- National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM)
- Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD 12)
- NERC Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP)
Today, most agencies are using multiple disjointed tools that are costly to maintain and don’t integrate to provide the right information and insight on users and assets to successfully enable collaboration.
Therefore, it is getting more difficult for chief information security officers (CISOs) to assess their agencies’ risks and to determine how to allocate already-stretched resources.
A most troubling trend in widely publicized breaches of government information systems has been the misuse or exploitation of privileged accounts.
To mitigate the risks of breach through privileged accounts, organizations must be empowered to efficiently manage this access.
BeyondTrust’s Universal Privilege Management approach consists of three privilege pillars:
-
Privileged Password Management
-
Endpoint Privilege Management
-
Secure Remote Access
