Capabilities & Background

We have extensive capabilities and experience in providing Cyber Security assessments and solutions, including:

• Firewalls
• Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) Software Evaluations
• Intrusion Detection
• Intrusion Prevention
• Incident Management Systems
• Public Key Infrastructure
• Secure Email Servers
• IT Security Plans
• Risk Assessments
• Communications Security
• Security Awareness Training

We can analyze security requirements and network/system design to assess security risks in a timely and cost-effective manner. We can identify undocumented, high-level system threats or inadequate or improper security requirements. We can also evaluate the security impact of non-security requirements.

We were principally involved in the design and development of NASA's agency-wide Security Operations Center (SOC), for which we architected a complete system for intrusion monitoring, detection, handling, and analysis, including a contact center, an intrusion detection system, and an incident management system. We continue to provide Tier 2 operational support of the SOC.

In support of the Outsourcing Desktop Initiative for NASA (ODIN), we have provided IT security services for 3,300 enterprise desktop systems throughout the NASA Ames Research Center and the NASA Dryden Flight Research Center. We have also developed and implemented IT security software solutions for numerous other NASA and FAA projects, including the International Space Station Biological Research Project, the Constellation Data Systems Project, and the Aviation Safety Program.

Our skills and experience with IT security are well established and highly regarded.
