It's time for the defense and intelligence community to upgrade endpoint security

Nov 13, 2025 By Matt Isett In Elastic
For more than 20 years, the US Intelligence Community (IC) and Department of Defense (DoD) have relied on a legacy Host Based Security System (HBSS) to provide basic endpoint security on critical networks. This solution has generally served its purpose by checking the box for endpoint security. However, most agencies still lack a truly integrated cross-operating system and cross-domain solution for endpoint detection and response (EDR).
