Australia looks towards space with force restructure, investment and training
Australia is looking to improve its presence in space with a focus on communications and creating a dedicated segment of its defence forces committed to the domain.
General Dynamics Mission Systems has launched its NSA-approved TACLANE Trusted Sensor Software feature on the TACLANE-1G (KG-175G), it has announced.
The software provides intrusion detection system and intrusion prevention system capabilities that monitor network traffic for Type 1 encryptors. It enables network operators and security managers to use cyber defence and sensing capabilities that were previously only available on more sensitive networks.
The TACLANE software also offers deep packet inspection in-line sensing capability to fine-tune network filtering based on open standard or government classified rule sets, and the ability to issue Type 1 encrypted alerts to monitor any network point.
Chris Marzilli, president, General Dynamics Mission Systems, said: 'We're committed to providing capabilities that help our customers manage and respond to cyber threats.
'The TACLANE Trusted Sensor Software improves and enhances cyber situational awareness, key to understanding the network and crucial in the development of effective computer network defence.'
The TACLANE-1G (KG-175G) is a low-profile, Type 1 network encryptor that is ruggedised for tactical and strategic environments and NSA certified to protect information classified Top Secret SCI and below. The TACLANE Trusted Sensor Software will be available for the TACLANE-10G (KG-175X) in the first quarter of 2016.
