See You at NCS at Booth 226

NCS is a major exhibitor at the Air Force Information Technology & Cyberpower Conference, Montgomery, AL, August 27-29. As the premier cyber security annual event, the Air Force Information Technology & Cyberpower Conference (AFITC) returns to Montgomery. As a critical intersection of Air Force IT experts, prominent IT academics, and some of America's top cyber security companies, the AFITC offers a full slate of events and activities, with three days of speakers, expanded education/training opportunities, and an exhibitor-driven trade show that revolves around the ways we can better defend America from cyber attacks, advanced persistent threats, and proactively lead in this in this increasingly digital world.

The AFITC Conference is the place where Air Force personnel and decision makers, as well as private industry IT and cyber security leaders, convene to not only share and review strategies but also explore the latest in cyber tools, software, and hardware. It is at this conference that experts review the increasingly complex and connected role that cyber plays in both the AF core mission and the private domain.

Theme: Cyber Vision of the Future: Mission Defense and Trusted Information

* Build a more lethal force through gaining and maintaining persistent information advantage for the Joint Force

* Assure AF core missions from threats in, through, and from cyberspace

* Enable effective and efficient integrated awareness derived from rapid processing, exploitation, and dissemination of decision-quality information.

This is the SAF/CIO A6 way of focusing on the National Defense Strategy implementation

SecureView Preferred for Government Security

Posted by Katie Callahan on Aug 14, 2018 1:47:30 PM

The Preferred Way to Protect Government Data

State sponsored cyber attacks on American networks and endpoints is both in the news and a daily fact of life. For government employees, processes to thwart security threats include strategies to protect databases and servers in data centers, locking down endpoints (like laptops and notebooks), and educating employees about everyday social engineering threats (clicking on destructive malware on a website or answering a malicious email).

Security officials give special attention to securing everyday network communications. To keep daily work communications private and secure, government workers access various levels of secure networks. Depending on need, workers may access different levels of communications security each day. This is referred to as multi-level computing.
