USAF tightens cyber defences
The US Air Force (USAF) is making its cybersecurity defences more robust through the awarding of a services contract to CSC worth an estimated $30 million.
On 18 January, CSC announced the one-year base contract, with two optional years, to provide cybersecurity services for the 33rd Network Warfare Squadron (NWS).
The 33rd NWS, supported by the Air Force Computer Emergency Response Team, is the sole operational unit in the USAF that provides constant defence and monitoring of its worldwide classified and unclassified IP networks.
As part of the contract, CSC will assist the USAF in the extension, operation and defence of its portion of the Department of Defense network, and provide ‘full spectrum cyber capabilities for the joint warfighter’.
The contract requires CSC to ‘isolate, contain and prevent intrusive activities on the air force automated information systems and networks’.
The company will also plan, coordinate, analyse and report on the findings of intrusion detection and prevention systems.
Work will be carried out at Lackland Air Base, Texas, under the supervision of CSC’s local lead executive, Wiley Hill.
Cybersecurity services that CSC provides include: vulnerability analysis, penetration testing, data loss prevention, managed security services, a global cyber strikeforce, and cyber forensics training and analysis.
