Raytheon unveils SureView 6.7 cyber audit solution for federal agencies

Raytheon has introduced a new version of its policy-based cyber audit solution, SureView Version 6.7, to help federal agencies in complying with minimum standards for insider threat detection programmes, while improving their cyber resiliency posture.

The new release will also assist the agencies to comply with US President Barack Obama’s memorandum, intended to implement an insider threat detection programme which can address national security threats while protecting privacy rights.

Capable of providing policy creation through a new policy wizard, the latest version of Raytheon’s SureView enables users to specify information need to protect civil liberties and personal privacy.

Users can also integrate collected data in a central place, such as a Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) system using the solution, following which the gathered data can be analysed using other types of collected data for further security policies and procedures.

Raytheon Information Security Solutions Intelligence and Information Systems product line business vice president Steven K Hawkins said, "Building on SureView’s legacy of balancing insider threat response with privacy rights protection, the 6.7 release enables federal agencies to easily implement cyber audit programs within the established, aggressive timelines."

SureView has been designed to monitor employees’ activities, including classified networks, while safeguarding privacy and legally protected communications.

It also provides simplified policy management, enterprise administration enhancements as well as enhanced role-based access controls for users.
