The government sector is facing growing cybersecurity threats that require robust solutions to safeguard sensitive data and critical infrastructure. With rapidly evolving threats—from adversarial actions from politically unstable state actors to GenAI-powered social engineering and phishing campaigns—the government sector faces a pressing need to transition from reactive threat monitoring to proactive threat monitoring. This shift is imperative to effectively address the complexities of modern cybersecurity threats that can compromise sensitive data, disrupt operations, and impact key populations.
Rubrik's advanced threat monitoring capabilities, now available on FedRAMP Moderate authorized Rubrik Security Cloud - Government platform, provide government agencies with the tools they need to proactively detect and respond to potential security threats effectively. This new feature enables government entities to identify and neutralize potential threats lurking within their workloads, irrespective of the diverse deployment environments they operate in.
Continuous threat monitoring involves the automatic and continuous scanning of system snapshots to identify indicators of compromise and potential threats. Rubrik's Threat Monitoring feature leverages machine learning techniques to analyze file system behaviors, detect anomalies, and alert administrators to potential security risks. By monitoring indicators of compromise (IOCs) from multiple threat intelligence sources, Rubrik enables early threat detection, accelerates threat investigations, reduces dwell time, and minimizes the risk of reinfection during the recovery process.
Key Benefits for Government
For federal and state/local government agencies handling sensitive data and critical operations, continuous threat monitoring offers numerous benefits:
Early Threat Detection: By continuously and automatically scanning system snapshots for new and existing IOCs, government agencies can detect security threats at an early stage, enabling proactive mitigation measures. Compromised data can then be quickly quarantined in snapshots to avoid being included in subsequent backups.
Reduced Response Time: The real-time monitoring capabilities of Rubrik's Threat Monitoring feature allow government IT teams to respond swiftly to potential security incidents, minimizing the impact of cyber threats.
Enhanced Security Posture: Continuous threat monitoring helps government entities strengthen their overall security posture by providing visibility into potential threats and vulnerabilities. This proactive approach can prevent data breaches, unauthorized access, and other security incidents.
Simple Configuration & Customization: To turn on threat monitoring, users simply need to toggle a button for the cluster in Rubrik that should be monitored. With support for YARA rules, file hashes, and custom IOCs, government agencies can also customize threat monitoring to align with their specific security needs and policies.
Rubrik's threat monitoring solution is designed to meet the security needs of government organizations, including federal agencies and state/local governments. With support for VMware virtual machines, NAS filesets, and Linux and Windows servers, Rubrik's Threat Monitoring feature offers comprehensive monitoring for a wide range of workloads.
Continuous threat monitoring is a crucial component of cybersecurity for government entities, enabling proactive threat detection, rapid response, and enhanced security posture. With Rubrik's advanced threat monitoring capabilities now available on the Rubrik Security Cloud - Government platform, government agencies can strengthen their cybersecurity defenses and safeguard critical assets against evolving threats. By leveraging Rubrik's Threat Monitoring feature, government organizations can stay one step ahead of cyber adversaries and protect sensitive data, infrastructure, and operations effectively.
