Getting in front of cyberattacks with Beyond Compliance
In the cyber world, the need for security is always increasing. The pace at which threats progress and learn from our security systems means the bare minimum is no longer the minimum. That's why the Beyond Compliance mindset has become crucial for organizations. Today, Meghan Good, vice president, director for Cyber Accelerator joins the MindSET podcast to to explain what Beyond Compliance means, how it works, and the best way for organizations to begin with this modern-day approach to cybersecurity.

Zero Trust: The new way forward in cybersecurity
Zero Trust is a cybersecurity approach that looks at security not just from the lens of keeping people out, but also at how we can protect all spaces when hackers do get in. It's not necessarily a new mindset, but it's been seeing a lot of traction since President Biden signed an executive order in 2021 making adoption mandatory for federal organizations. Jeff Mims joins the show to explain more about what it is, how it works, and why it's so important.
SOC to SIC
PACKIT™ (Proven, Analytic-Centric Kill Chain Implementation and Transformation) is our threat-based approach to conducting and improving cyber defense. PACKIT leverages people, process and technology to operationalize and implement an analytical framework (i.e., kill-chains) to improve an organization’s cybersecurity posture.

Cyber Resiliency
As a company, we design, build, and deploy valuable assets – IT, data systems, networks, or platforms – for our customers. Using our cyber expertise, we continually enhance our techniques and processes to build systems that operate resiliently in the face of evolving cyber threats. We put hardware and software to the test – through penetration testing, reverse engineering, adversarial simulations and assessments – to identify gaps in security and develop the best solutions for our customers’ systems.
Risk Management Framework
Security, at its core, is a risk analysis and management activity. This starts with a successful system authorization to operate (ATO) and proper alignment to the risk management framework (RMF). In addition to expertise, Leidos' Risk and Privacy Management Acceleration Playbook (RAPMAP) is a repeatable playbook to implementing the RMF, where best practice tools, templates, and techniques are provided to our customers.

Cyber Analytics
Our Foundational Automation Support Technology (FAST) framework is an innovative approach to automatically discover and track all IP-addressable network devices — reducing manual, labor-intensive processes like asset inventory. This approach facilitates a configuration management database (CMDB) and incorporates AI and machine learning to understand event relationships better and perform predictive analytics between events.
Information Assurance
Keeping pace with the Federal Information Security Modernization act is vital for every company. To help, Leidos developed IonIA™, a product that helps you determine what is reportable under FISMA. IonIA ensures you're adhering to FISMA by defining, maintaining, and repetitively monitoring your systems through every security layer.

Insider Threat
Our risk-based services integrate both technical and non-technical system elements for a truly holistic defense against insider threats. Using anomaly detection and analytics, we identify unusual activity based on peers, time of day, and previous activity and correlate this activity with external risk factors to produce a weighted risk score and prioritize internal investigations. Our proven solutions can complement existing technical tools or be deployed independently.
