Modern Security Approaches to Achieving Your Government Logging Mandate

With the multiplication of advanced persistent threats, supply chain attacks, and ransomware putting our national security at risk, comprehensive network visibility is a cyber security requirement for U.S. federal agencies.

Recognizing this reality, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) issued a directive in August 2021 (OMB M-21-31) instructing executive branch departments and agencies to modernize their event logging. These requirements expand on President Biden’s May 2021 Executive Order to ensure the “centralized access and visibility” needed by security operations to accelerate response and remediation of cyber threats.

In this webinar, you’ll hear ExtraHop’s Public Sector team discuss how contextual network data is instrumental in meeting the OMB mandate. You’ll also learn how to accelerate compliance with data collection and retention requirements in a scalable way—including encrypted network traffic.
