Can Security Intelligence “as a cloud” help the Federal Government face cyber-security challenges?

Last week I shared part one of John Burnham’s discussion of the INSA study released earlier this month.  In this post, we continue the conversation and move onto the role of Security Intelligence as a cloud and how it could be used as part of a comprehensive cyber-strategy.

John cites a QRadar Security Intelligence customer, The Salt River Project (the nation’s third largest public power and utility company), as an example of an organization who has used next-gen SIEM to cross organizational divides.  He explains that the federal government could deploy Security Intelligence across all organizations under the umbrella of  the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to collect and report data securely and confidentially to DHS, much like The Salt River Project has done to collect intelligence across its several internal agencies.

Watch the video to hear what else John thinks the Federal Government could be doing to strengthen their strategy for preventing cyber-threats.
