EINSTEIN 3 Accelerated

Overview
The Department of Homeland Security plans to deploy EINSTEIN 3 Accelerated (E 3 A) to enhance cybersecurity analysis, situational awareness, and security response. With E 3 A, DHS will not only be able to detect malicious traffic targeting federal government networks, but also prevent malicious traffic from harming those networks.

This will be accomplished through delivering intrusion prevention capabilities as a Managed Security Service provided by Internet Service Providers (ISP). Under the direction of DHS, ISPs will administer intrusion prevention and threat-based decision-making on network traffic entering and leaving participating federal civilian Executive Branch agency networks.
