U.S. federal agencies were disproportionately targeted in 2010, facing 39 percent more cyber incidents than in 2009 while overall cyber incidents declined, according to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).

To counter cyber incidents such as nation-state sponsored espionage, data breaches and advanced persistent threats (APTs), government agencies must fill the hole left by next-generation firewalls, IPS, antivirus, and Web gateways. These tools, reacting based primarily on rules and signatures, are no match for well-funded adversaries employing a new generation of dynamic, stealthy threats.

Consistent with FISMA and NIST directives to embrace risk management through continuous monitoring and attack-based metrics, government agencies everywhere are turning to FireEye. FireEye offers the only appliances that can detect and block threats in real time for a proactive stance against advanced malware, zero-day and targeted APT attacks.

The FireEye family of Web and Email Malware Protection Systems continuously detects, confirms and blocks both unknown and known threats. FireEye's comprehensive protection continuously monitors and acts on both inbound and outbound paths. Operating either in-line or out-of-band, FireEye strengthens government security infrastructures without disrupting operations. FireEye adds a vital layer of protection as agencies adopt the cloud.

For threat researchers, the FireEye Virtual Execution (VX) engine provides a full-featured, hands-on testing environment for analysis of advanced malware and targeted attacks.
