Enforcing security for EOUSA

The Department of Justice Executive Office for United States Attorneys (EOUSA) has chosen software from Intellitactics as the focal point of its enterprise security management system. The goals of the security program are to automate security operations, align real-time security operations with risk management strategies and address requirements for compliance reporting for the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) and Federal Information Protection Standard (FIPS).

Intellitactics' Security Manager and SAM (a security dashboard) will be used to help safeguard the agency's information assets and validate that security policy controls are working. EOUSA will also implement Intellitactics Advanced Analytics. The suite will be deployed at its Washington, D.C., headquarters and at its remote Security Fusion Center.

According to Intellitactics, the solution's real-time access to prioritized security alerts, investigative ability and security assurance metrics will enable EOUSA to:

establish and sustain a FISMA-compliant environment to protect information assets;

take immediate action on incidents posing the greatest risk to the agency;

perform forensics and trend analysis;

accelerate detection of camouflaged activity prevalent in internal attack scenarios; and

communicate key performance indicators to illustrate detection and incident response, demonstrate opportunities for improvement, assign accountability and provide business context for decision-making.

EOUSA provides the United States Attorneys with general executive assistance and direction, policy development, administrative management direction and oversight, operational support, and coordination with other components of the department and other federal agencies.
