Most business and government organizations wait until a cyber attack occurs, and then react to it, hoping to stem the theft, destruction or public release of critical data. Booz Allen’s Cyber4Sight™ Threat Intelligence Services change the game, enabling clients to take defensive actions and begin risk mitigation – before an attack actually occurs.
A perimeter defense alone is no longer sufficient protection against cyber attacks – adversaries are too many, too fast and too sophisticated. The vast majority of organizations react to cyber threats only after an actual attack occurs, focusing on damage assessment and remediation. A shift from the current reactive security posture towards an anticipatory, predictive intelligence perspective enables an organization to get ahead of the attack, assess the risk, and take appropriate defensive actions before an attack actually occurs. Anticipatory cyber threat intelligence is the key to developing a successful Cybersecurity defense and managing risk, getting out in front of the attackers.
Booz Allen has combined its deep functional cyber expertise from the intelligence community with its operational military experience to create Cyber4Sight™. Our Threat Intelligence Service delivers predictive cyber threat intelligence 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, spanning 365 days per calendar year. Cyber4Sight™ delivers near-real-time cyber threat intelligence to protect our clients’ entire business operations as manifest across the global Internet. Booz Allen’s Cyber4sight™ managed service enables our client’s organization to take appropriate defensive actions before attacks occur, shifting the game from post-attack damage control and mitigation to pre-attack defensive actions and risk mitigation.
