Cybersecurity: A Foundation for Federal Security
Developing an architectural approach to cybersecurity for the federal IT enterprise is extremely complex. To simplify, Cisco integrated federal security solutions focus on four important areas of cybersecurity.
- Integrated threat detection and defense
- Cloud computing and data center security
- Identity-based network solutions
- Highly secure remote access
An architectural approach based on these four areas provides information assurance and compliance with Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) regulations. It also supports cost-saving initiatives, such as cloud computing, telework, and citizen self-service.
