Corelight Network Visibility and OMB M-21-31 Compliance

This white paper discusses how Corelight's network visibility solutions assist federal agencies in complying with the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) memorandum M-21-31. The memo establishes a maturity model for event log management, outlining specific compliance requirements and timelines for federal agencies. Corelight aims to facilitate agencies in advancing through the maturity model stages by providing uniform network logs and insights. The document details the four tiers of the maturity model, from 'Not Effective' to 'Advanced,' and explains how Corelight's solutions address the challenges associated with disparate logging systems. It emphasizes the importance of comprehensive network monitoring to fill security gaps left by endpoint technology and highlights the capabilities of Corelight's Open Network Detection and Response (NDR) platform. The paper also outlines how Corelight's logging and data management practices align with the requirements set forth in the OMB memo, ultimately enabling agencies to enhance their cybersecurity posture.
