Integrated Security for Federal Government

Beyond Compliance: The Self-Defending Network
The Cisco Self-Defending Network can help your organization manage risk, a top priority as you comply with Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) regulations. As part of a long-term strategy to deliver threat control and containment to federal organizations, the Cisco Self-Defending Network helps government agencies:

	Use existing network resources to deliver intelligent information
	Proactively manage, monitor, and mitigate risk using automated methods
	Realize a greater return on technology investments while reducing security costs

Network-based security helps agencies address security concerns, comply with federal regulations, and provide an architectural platform for proactive, automated, real-time threat management. A common infrastructure integrates security throughout the network with processes and technologies designed to adapt to new threats.
