Time to re-think out of the box
Minimize

Although the nation is at great risk from cyberterrorism … only a tiny cadre of researchers are (re)thinking deeply about long-term solutions to this problem. If the problem were merely a matter of implementing techniques that are known to be adequate, this might not be a serious issue. But the truth is that we do not know how to build secure computer systems. The only model widely used for cybersecurity is the "perimeter defense" model -- which is demonstrably fragile. In fact, for deep theoretical reasons, it is impossible to guarantee that a perimeter-defense system will ever work! To be sure, many immediate problems of cybersecurity can be handled by implementing or enforcing known "best practices" -- such as patching software each time a new attack is successful. But solving the fundamental problem will require long-term, innovative basic research. No one knows how vulnerable we really are because the most costly attacks have not been made public. But we are probably a lot more vulnerable than we’d like to be, and maybe more vulnerable than we can survive! Financial cybersystems have been attacked but have not disclosed damage and losses in order to preserve an image of their integrity. Military systems have also been attacked, but the most serious attacks have not been disclosed. It has been reported, however, that more than 60 percent of military computers have been compromised. We know that national defense computers and networks use the same software and hardware as the general public -- and thus are subject to the same kinds of attacks. In addition, they are a juicy target for sophisticated, state-sponsored intruders who want to determine our military preparedness.*

DigitalStakeout has broken from the status quo and introduced Defense in Dimension which brings the most advanced security information and event management system capabilities together with non-obvious attribution of global threats and ambiguous events to cyber security strategies and infrastructures.

DigitalStakeout Threat Aware™ SIEM is the security industry's first and only Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) product which provides the ultimate correlation of segmented and context-bound SIEM information with global threat intelligence to support successful security posture management.

DigitalStakeout Threat Aware™ SIEM empowers organizations to reduce risk, reduce security vulnerabilities exposures, and accelerate incident analysis and response times like no other SIEM solution. Whether your role in security finds you seated in the Board Room or in the hot seat within the Security Operations Center your responsibilities and accountabilities demand decisions that change your security posture. DigitalStakeout stands ready to work with you as you re-think Security™ and re-think SIEM™.
