DISA selects Raytheon's Insider Threat Management Solution

Raytheon's insider threat management solution has been selected by The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) for the Insider Threat Focused Observation Tool (InTFOT) for the Department of Defense. Under the contract, Raytheon will provide the DoD an enterprise license for its solution. At the request of the U.S. Strategic Command and in support of the president's national security goals, the InTFOT provides network administrators and security personnel with technology to effectively counter the threat posed by insiders to the security and integrity of the Global Information Grid and the data it contains. Raytheon's Insider Threat Management Solution is an end-to-end cybersecurity offering which provides advanced cybersecurity systems to protect customers' critical information and infrastructures from the most complex threats. Steve Hawkins, vice president of Raytheon's Information Security Solutions business, said "Insider threats pose some of the most serious economic and national security challenges of the 21st century." "These threats could be a trusted individual who knows internal organizations and could be after classified information, or someone who is not malicious but accidentally leaks vital data. Insiders can have the access to compromise, steal, change or destroy information that could potentially cause disruptions to critical U.S. systems," Hawkins added. Raytheon's host-based insider risk management solution proactively identifies and supports investigations of user violations so organizations can proactively manage insider incidents.
