The View From NCS Technologies

Strategic Dialogue at Defensive Cyber Operations Symposium

Posted by John Callahan on Jun 12, 2015 10:21:00 AM

 

The U.S. Defense Information Systems Agency's new operational role as network defender creates a formal relationship between DISA, U.S. Cyber Command and the command's military service components. The goal is to improve cyber security, but a successful strategy depends on a matrix of participating organizations adapting technical solutions and adopting enterprise management to improve efficiency, security and reliability. VDI-image

This partner community, together with suppliers, will meet at the Baltimore Convention Center next Tuesday through Thursday for the 2015 Defensive Cyber Operations Symposium. NCS Technologies will be there at Booth #5023. We invite you to meet us at the booth!

As has been demonstrated month after month, including news of the latest the December hack into Office of Personnel Management data, hackers never rest in seeking out security vulnerabilities in U.S. government civilian, military and intelligence networks.

3 Cyber Security Solutions Are A Must

At the Cyber Operations Symposium, NCS will demonstrate 3 cyber security technologies which are a must for every government agency.

The first cyber security solution is SecureView. SecureView represents the latest approach to the multi-level network problem. SecureView is a multi-level virtual platform which allows a user to run multiple securely isolated environments on a single PC, provide hardware-enforced security and deliver superior virtualization in the most demanding environments. NCS will demonstrate AFRL-certified solutions featured on the Hardware Compatibility List. 

The next technology which is critical to improved security, manageability and IT efficiency is a comprehensive VDI network solution. NCS will discuss its VDI solutions which includes all three elements (storage, compute & network), software and services, and endpoints.

IT departments remain on a continuous treadmill of cyber defense, updates and patches. Managers realize their networks remain vulnerable at the weakest spot in the perimeter, often a desktop lagging behind on security updates, or an operating system breached because of an exposure to a zero-day vulnerability. This area is the third solution we will discuss and showcase at the Cyber Operations Symposium, virtual PCoIP zero client endpoints. Zero clients provide super strong security on the front lines (at the desktop or laptop). 

Key Advantages of Zero Clients at the Endpoints

Key advantages include:

  •          Fully mobile and secure
  •          NSA Suite B security
  •          AES-256 encryption
  •          No hard drive
  •          No OS
  •          No local storage
  •          No persistent user data
  •          No antivirus needed
