DALLAS, May 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ --
What's the news? AT&T* has launched a cost-effective
unified cybersecurity solution designed to meet the security needs
of federal, state and local government agencies. The new offer,
AT&T Threat Detection and Response for Government, is built on
the AT&T Unified Security Management (USM) platform which
combines threat detection, incident response, and compliance
management.
Why is this important?
Public sector agencies need help reducing cybersecurity risks.
Federal, state and local agencies manage high volumes of sensitive
data and face persistent nation-state threats while supporting
critical infrastructure. AT&T Threat Detection and Response for
Government is purpose-built in the AWS GovCloud (U.S.) and meets
the U.S. Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program
(FedRAMP) requirements for cloud service providers
operating at the Moderate Impact Level. These safeguards can
help agencies achieve compliance and allow IT leaders more time to
focus their efforts on other projects critical to mission
delivery.
What makes this new cybersecurity solution different?
AT&T Threat Detection and Response for Government is fast to
deploy and easy to use. It uses the rich automation and
orchestration capabilities of the AT&T USM platform and is
highly effective at detecting and responding to threats.
The solution can be integrated with other IT and security
tools and allows a single pane of glass view for visibility across
the IT environment, both on-premises and in the cloud (including
Microsoft Azure Government, AWS GovCloud U.S., and Google
Cloud Platform™ environments). It is fueled with continuous threat
intelligence to help protect against advanced threats including
malware and ransomware.
AT&T Cybersecurity understands the unique challenges facing
the U.S. public sector. To help agencies optimize their
implementation of AT&T Threat Detection and Response for
Government, AT&T Cybersecurity Consulting offers professional
services, including security expertise as needed. Through a
facilitated and collaborative approach, AT&T
Cybersecurity Consulting helps customers meet regulatory reporting
requirements and reduce cyber risks.
When will this new cybersecurity solution be
available?
AT&T Threat Detection and Response for
Government is available today to U.S. federal, state and local
agencies as well as U.S. companies working with the government.
