Network security in the federal government has been under attack not only by hackers, but by the scrutiny of the public. With more and more data breaches occurring and sensitive information being released, the federal government must protect its assets and personnel information from future threats. Implementing a next-generation firewall and intrusion prevention system is a necessary step for network administrators to ensure a safe and secure environment for sensitive information. With Untangle, the federal government and its entities are able to monitor and investigate potential breaches with a cost effective solution.
NIST SP 800-171 provides guidance for government agencies looking to protect sensitive unclassified federal information that is housed in nonfederal systems and environments. Untangle’s NG Firewall solution specifically helps organizations meet certain security requirements of NIST SP 800-171.
Insider Threat Detection
Trust but verify is a necessity when it comes to enabling access to sensitive data. From Edward Snowden to recent high profile NSA contractor leaks, federal government vulnerabilities to threats that originate from within their own ranks have grabbed headlines. Next-generation firewall reports can help track, monitor, and analyze employees behavior on the network to determine if they are a risk to the organization.
Safe and Secure Networks
BYOD and open Wi-Fi are critical, yet difficult to support for federal agencies on strict budgets. Captive Portal allows administrators to block internet access for users until they view and/or agree to an Acceptable Use policy. For employees, they can rest assured their information is secure. For network administrators, they can keep track of unidentified users and restrict them from accessing specific information, reducing security risks and bandwidth impacts.
Real-time Content Blocking
Blocking website content is becoming more difficult as the internet evolves, and more websites are routing traffic through HTTPS. Blocking unwanted traffic on the network and optimizing internet access for employees can be done through next-generation web filtering. With Web Filter, network administrators have complete visibility into and control over all traffic flowing through their network.
