Intelligence Driven Security

Cyber attackers’ techniques adapt to organizations’ defenses so rapidly that by the time a new defense system is in place, it is often already obsolete. Booz Allen Hamilton helps clients in both business and government stay ahead of adversaries through Intelligence Driven Security – a proactive, enterprise-wide approach, expressly tailored to each organization, that anticipates and responds to cyber threats as they emerge.


DEVELOPING A PRO-ACTIVE, ENTERPRISE-WIDE CYBERSECURITY POSTURE

Cyber attacks from hactivist groups, crime syndicates, nation-states and others are now so sophisticated and insidious that perimeter defenses and other point solutions are no longer enough. Organizations need to adopt new technologies in the digital age, while at the same time developing a cybersecurity posture that will stay ahead of emerging threats. Read More


THE FIVE KEY AREAS OF Intelligence Driven Security:

Booz Allen Dynamic Defense Framework

Threat Intelligence

Using our proven methodology – successfully developed for the U.S. military – we integrate and analyze a wide range of data sources to identify the specific intentions and capabilities of an organization’s cyber adversaries. Learn More
 
 

Incident Response

When an organization’s network has been successfully breached, we move rapidly to protect data by identifying the source, compartmentalizing infected systems, developing counter-measures, and restoring full functionality. Learn More
 
 

Preemptive Response

We conduct a comprehensive assessment of an organization’s cybersecurity posture, and then help develop a unique roadmap to robust cybersecurity health through a balanced portfolio of capabilities, tailored to resources and priorities. Learn More
