In a statement, the Seattle-based firm said that its new ExtraHop IDS for Government reflects the push to create a zero-trust architecture in public agency IT operations, along with the ongoing “move to decentralize IT infrastructure.”
ExtraHop says public-sector agencies that use this new service will receive what the company calls flexible deployment options for curated intrusion detection system (IDS) rules; role-based access that can reduce the chance of data leaks; support for disconnected environments; and decryption tools that can help expose malware and other threats.
“Historically, legacy IDS tools haven’t been able to deliver the value that government organizations need, but ExtraHop has completely re-imagined the technology,” said David Dalling, cyber chief technology officer, Accenture Federal Services, in the statement. “ExtraHop approaches intrusion detection in a new, innovative way, which is well-suited for those in more regulated industries.”
