Media Alert: EventTracker to Present Webinar on NIST 800-171 Compliance for Government Contractors

COLUMBIA, Md., July 07, 2017 -- EventTracker, a leader in security information and event management (SIEM), today announced it will host a webinar on how to implement the requirements of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication (SP) 800-171, on Thursday, July 13, 2 p.m. EDT.

As cybersecurity threats continue to intensify, the federal government is placing an ever-increasing emphasis on protecting the confidentiality of sensitive information. Any organization doing business with the federal government should expect requirements that aim to protect such information to strengthen.

Correspondingly, on Dec. 20, 2015, the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) published a three-page interim rule to the Defense Acquisition Federal Regulation Supplement (DAFRS) that gives government contractors a deadline of Dec. 31, 2017 to implement the requirements of NIST 800-171, which protects controlled unclassified information (CUI) in non-federal systems and organizations. If you are a government contractor, failure to meet these requirements will result in the loss of your contracts.

Many defense contractors have already trusted EventTracker to ensure their IT processes meet or exceed the NIST 800-171 requirements, because the SIEM provider offers pre-defined and customized reports, rules, and dashboards to help meet the security controls detailed within the NIST requirement. The solution at the core of EventTracker’s NIST compliance package is EventTracker Log Manager, designed to deliver the protection and compliance you need with zero impact on end users.

EventTracker is the only SIEM provider in its class that provides a highly scalable and flexible SIEM-as-a-Service, with its own enterprise SIEM platform that delivers advanced enterprise security management solutions. Additionally, EventTracker has been recognized for nine consecutive years in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for SIEM and received a 5-star rating from SC Media for five years running.

Participants in the webinar will learn everything they need to know about meeting the NIST 800-171 regulation, and all registrants will get a free copy of EventTracker’s NIST 800-171 Solution Brief.
