In 2006, CSC launched the Secure(it) program, which is focused on providing innovative network infrastructure and physical security products and solutions for Information Assurance and network security. Secure(it) is closely aligned with the Department of Defense’s Defense-in-Depth strategy with increased focus on network security and Information Assurance across the commercial and government IT communities. By combining physical security and network infrastructure products, Secure(it) provides a cohesive and layered approach to network security which:
1) Enables comprehensive yet cost-effective protection against the growing threats to sensitive information and critical infrastructures, and
2) Reduces the cost and complexity of deployment for C4ISR networks and facilities
In order to capture the growing synergies between physical security and Information Assurance, CSC created the Secure(it) Protection Layers. These Layers provide a cost-effective and balanced approach for end users to implement the protection required based upon the sensitivity of their information or network and the potential cost or impact if compromised. The Secure(it) Protection Layers address requirements for the typical enterprise network (i.e. email, Internet traffic, etc.) to classified network or facility (classified info, SCIFs, etc).
Information is Power
Over the last decade, information systems have truly transformed the world we live in. It has become a critical asset for commercial, government, and military end-users. With the dramatic advances seen in computer processor speeds coupled with the exponential increase in network bandwidth, an ever increasing amount of information is being stored and shared across both public and private networks.
Network Security is Paramount
Over the last few years, IT security has grown to become to priority for commercial and government networks alike. By protecting the network from physical and cyber threats, organizations can ensure the performance and availability of the network and safeground the information being transmitted across or stored within. This increased focus on IT security has driven the development of various industry standards and government mandates that have specific requirements for the following markets: healthcare, banking, retail, utilities, Government and defense. From protecting hospital networks that process personal and confidential information, to SCADA networks that control power or water distribution, to Department of Defense networks that distributes classified information, IT security has had a pervasive impact on how networks are being deployed and protected.
