Case Study: U.S. Navy Cyber Defense Operations Command achieves centralized, automated security monitoring and real-time reporting with NetIQ Sentinel

U.S. Navy Cyber Defense Operations Command - Customer Case Study

The U.S. Navy Cyber Defense Operations Command (NCDOC), a 180-person team responsible for securing hundreds of global Navy networks—from ships to research facilities—was overwhelmed by a rapidly growing flood of security events from thousands of sensors. Faced with a workload that would have required thousands of additional analysts, NCDOC needed a vendor‑neutral, scalable way to centralize, automate and prioritize monitoring across diverse platforms.

NCDOC built the PROMETHEUS suite using the SAS Intelligence Platform with NetIQ Sentinel as the security‑event management front end to aggregate and prioritize tens of thousands of daily events into a single, customizable dashboard. The solution automated and centralized monitoring across dispersed networks, enabled real‑time reporting in minutes or hours instead of weeks, simplified reporting for different audiences, and let the team focus immediately on the most critical threats.
