Government Compliance
Protecting Federal Information
Protecting valuable federal data, sustaining the availability of the nation’s critical infrastructure, and preserving vital agency-wide information sharing present significant challenges for federal information security teams. Further, the current federal IT climate demands that agencies implement information security programs based on key federal government requirements, including:
- The 2002 Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) mandates
- Relevant Office of Budget and Management (OMB) policies
- National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) guidance related to performing risk assessments, developing information security plans, and testing and evaluating security controls
Government technology environments are particularly complex, making compliance especially challenging. Your IT environment is highly interactive and widely interconnected across industry, private, state, local, and foreign entities. Still, you must ensure continued collaboration across your environment, while maintaining effective controls to meet information needs without compromising the nation’s critical infrastructure.
nFX Solutions for Government Compliance

By consolidating and analyzing information from any number of security devices, applications, and operating systems, the integrated nFX One security management solution can transform your data into actionable intelligence. In this way, the solution arms you with unprecedented control in detecting, responding to, and mitigating the impact of threats on essential federal assets. Plus, a fully auditable security infrastructure can help you demonstrate compliance.
Log Management: A Good Place to Start
Log management is an important component of your government compliance strategy, allowing you to collect, store, and report on your event logs and prove that your controls are adequate. But to ensure compliance and end-to-end security intelligence, you need more. With the cost-effective nFX Cinxi One family of appliances , you can perform log management to store and collect event logs. But Cinxi also includesrobust SIM capabilities for the real-time threat identification, prioritization, and remediation.
