The\u00a0U.S. Navy recently confronted this reality in their own security stack.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The Navy\u2019s experience reflects a growing truth across government IT: Modernization doesn\u2019t look the same for everyone, especially in disconnected or high-security environments. Like the Navy, agencies in highly regulated environments must balance innovation and practicality if they hope to keep pace with emerging, sophisticated threats.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Why the Navy\u2019s endpoint security needed an upgrade<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In recent years, the Navy has advanced several new beneficial security initiatives that also brought challenges right along with them. One effort centered on a leading endpoint security provider that performed well in cloud-connected environments but struggled in isolated\u00a0air-gapped environments\u2014of which the Navy had many.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">At the same time,\u00a0the growth of AI workloads introduced a new financial variable. AI brought noticeable productivity gains for users, but also drove up cloud costs significantly. With this in mind, all signs pointed to on-prem and air-gapped solutions for budget control.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">To keep workflows airtight, even in air-gapped environments, the Navy chose Symantec solutions via Catalyst Partner Carahsoft and Leidos to modernize its endpoint security and close critical gaps. The results offer insight into what a unified, cost-controlled security strategy can achieve when security is built around mission realities and guided by experienced partners.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Transforming the SMIT&#8230;<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.security.com\/blog-post\/us-navy-case-study\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The U.S. Navy\u2019s Playbook for Cost-Controlled, Reliable Cybersecurity https:\/\/www.security.com\/blog-post\/us-navy-case-study Publish Date: 2026-04-01 06:14:00 Source Domain:&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":229959,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.security.com\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/blogs_hero_tiny\/public\/2026-03\/michael-afonso-BQgAYwERXhs-unsplash.jpg.webp?h=9dd951d5&itok=RZ-X7QCk","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[20,57],"class_list":["post-229958","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cybersecurity","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-security"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/229958"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=229958"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/229958\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":229960,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/229958\/revisions\/229960"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/229959"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=229958"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=229958"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=229958"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
