cybersecurity architecture has been strengthened by the need to support
a distributed workforce during the pandemic and beyond. The platform
can quickly ingest new data sources to better understand emerging risks and threats so that IT teams can secure a growing number of endpoint devices, including the personal devices that many employees use while working remotely.
Harnessing the power of data
Combining Cloudera’s Data Cloud with the REDPro platform allows agencies
to fully harness the power of the data they hold, regardless of whether that data lives in an on-premises data center, a single cloud or multiple clouds. At

SOME CYBERSECURITY FUNDAMENTALS will always be important, such as knowing your
baseline and what you need to protect, patching, continuous monitoring and user training. However, cyberthreats are always evolving, and agencies need to evolve along with them and use the latest technology to deal with real-time threats while identifying long-term trends.
The Department of Homeland Security’s Einstein was an important step forward in monitoring and protecting government systems. The recent Executive Order on Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity is another important step. It advocates bold progress on detecting and remediating breaches, enhancing supply chain security and removing barriers to the sharing of threat information.
At the agency level, rapidly changing IT environments and continuously evolving cyberthreats require proactive, high-performing cybersecurity solutions that can adapt on the fly and constantly answer questions about what’s happening to data in terms of who, when, where, what and how.
A future-proof cybersecurity architecture
It is essential to create a platform
in which tools and analytics can be integrated quickly to respond to current threats. In other words, rather than
hundreds of best-of-breed solutions stitched together, agencies require a comprehensive, integrated solution. Raytheon Intelligence & Space
and Cloudera partnered to meet the government’s need for a much more rapid and adaptive cybersecurity approach. Cloudera’s open architecture-based design is ideally suited to the needs
of Raytheon Intelligence & Space’s government customers. And it aligns with the company’s REDPro, which is a zero trust-based, data-centric command and control infrastructure. The addition of Cloudera creates a plug-and-play architecture that can be updated in real time as new threats are identified.
