While government and financial services have the most at stake in terms of potential cybersecurity issues, every type of industry and organization can benefit from the protection of a real-time forensics and incident response platform. 

Information about energy companies, retail, transportation, manufacturing industries and key infrastructure assets...as well as others...will be provided in the months ahead.

Although every industry and organization that employs Microsoft technologies will benefit from ACSI's CyberSA products, we have identified Government and Financial Services as our two key sectors…those that are particularly vulnerable, and those in which we have a high level of specialized knowledge to contribute.

Our origins can be traced to discussions at the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory, and much of our development was spurred by security concepts that emerged collaboratively from those discussions. We sought the input of top government security experts to develop tools that could meet stringent government requirements, and have the background to interface effectively with IT personnel within the government enterprise domains.

Financial Services is the other obvious vulnerability...attackers have shifted their focus from simple mischief (and bragging rights in the "black hat" community) to for-profit misappropriation of funds, account information, fraud, and customer data. As this threat increases...which it is at an alarming rate...so does the need for more robust protection of financial networks.
