Verint Threat Protection System™for Government OrganizationsNEW PERSPECTIVE. NEW DEFENSE.

Protect Critical Government Services from Advanced Cyber ThreatsVerint Threat Protection System™ (TPS) is a pre-integrated intelligence-driven platform that enables government organizations to protect critical networks, IT systems and information assets against advanced cyber attacks. Ideal for government agencies, ministries, Computer Emergency Response Teams (CERTs) and e-government operations, TPS helps Security Operations Center (SOC) teams maximize threat visibility while bolstering productivity.

GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATIONS ARE A PRIME TARGET Sophisticated and targeted cyber attacks, many of which are state-sponsored, aim to bring down critical government services and networks, steal classified information, or hijack the credentials of high-level government personnel for purposes of espionage or blackmail. According to a PWC report1, government organizations are among the most targeted sectors for cyber attacks.

ADVANCED THREATS REQUIRE A NEW DEFENSE PERSPECTIVEDespite the substantial risks, most government organizations still use traditional perimeter security products (e.g., anti-virus, firewall, IDS/IPS) and SIEM systems that are ill-equipped to combat today's highly sophisticated and complex cyber threats. They lack the intelligence-driven tools and resources to sift through thousands of daily alerts, share findings to detect high-priority cyber attacks with greater confidence and respond in a timely manner.

BUILDING AN INTELLIGENCE-DRIVEN SOCIn order to identify, contain and remediate advanced cyber attacks, Gartner2 recommends an intelligence-driven SOC approach. Given the fact that government organizations are continually under attack, this approach assumes that your network has already been compromised. Accordingly, security focus needs to shift from prevention and incident response to continuous monitoring and rapid detection of threats already in the network. SOCs should focus on prioritizing

threats, automating investigations and limiting damage once an attack is identified.

VERINT THREAT PROTECTION SYSTEM – A NEW GENERATION IN CYBER INTELLIGENCE Leveraging over 20 years of Actionable Intelligence® experience protecting some of the world's most targeted networks, TPS uniquely combines orchestrated multi-vector attack detection, automated investigation, deep forensics and actionable response – all in one, pre-integrated platform.

Integrating with the current security infrastructure, TPS monitors all traffic coming into and flowing through government networks. TPS continuously gathers evidence and intelligence, sharpening insights on-the-fly to confirm or refute an attack, giving analysts the threat visibility they need to take action. Specialized detection engines can pinpoint indicators of compromise on endpoints and identify lateral movement across internally-connected government networks that are indicative of targeted attack campaigns that traverse multiple government entities. Automated investigation transforms thousands of alerts into dozens of incidents, each complete with the full attack story and recommendations for incident response.

In addition, CERTs can use TPS to monitor network activity of multiple government organizations for scenarios where information assets are maintained across agencies and ministries. CERTs can deploy TPS in a distributed manner, with a front end collection component deployed locally and the central intelligence processing component at the CERT's main site.

WHY VERINT TPS FOR GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATIONS?

E-Gov - Cyber Security Operation Center (CSOC)

Verint TPS Generates Real Value for SOC Teams• Transforms thousands

of alerts to dozens of prioritized incidents

• Reduces average investigation time from days to hours (or less)

• Bottom line: Save up to millions of dollars per year for compelling ROI

MAXIMIZE SOC EFFICIENCY AND REDUCE TOTAL COST OF OWNERSHIP Automated investigations reduce average investigation times from months and weeks to days and minutes. In addition, TPS creates a variety of threat intelligence from its multiple detection engines, which can be pushed to perimeter tools to harden security and prevent future attacks. In this way, TPS maximizes SOC productivity and increases security. Moreover, an open architecture facilitates integration with the existing security system infrastructure, helping government organizations to preserve investments.
