The View From NCS Technologies

Day 2 at Air Force IT Conference

NCS & Partner Solutions at Booth 226

NCS is exhibiting at the Air Force Information Technology & Cyberpower Conference, Montgomery, AL, through Wednesday. This is a premier cyber security and IT event for the Air Force. NCS is featuring its virtualization solutions, as well as key products from partners Lenovo and Getac. The personal computing and rugged hardware solutions are known to the Air Force community through the CCS2 contract for Air Force equipment.

NCS is featuring the Lenovo L480 (QEB 2018B Office Notebook and Agency - Office Notebook), Lenovo P920 (QEB 2018B High Performance Workstation) and the Getac F110 (QEB 2018B Rugged Slate Pad)

As we mentioned in yesterday's blog, very popular at the booth is a unique implementation of SecureView - a secure virtualization solution created specifically for the federal government. This demo at the show is running on very high end, water cooled Intel workstation with memory, GPUs and solid state storage capable of hosting up to 9 VMs all operating on different secure government networks.  Of course this one is for show since in a typical DoD environment we don't have fancy boxes with neon lights and glass side panels.  We wanted to show off what's under the hood of this beast of a machine.

More on SecureView

Government and military workers often use virtualization tools at the endpoint to best access multi-level computing. The preferred virtualization tool for government is, as mentioned, SecureView, developed by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) supported on hardware provided by NCS.  NCS hardware platforms approved for use with SecureView include the Stratus MT and Stratus DT desktops and the Vortex MT and Vortex MDT workstations.

SecureView runs multiple secure networks on one PC or workstation, with hardware-enforced security. This increasingly popular security solution is the result of extensive and continuing development work by AFRL, the open source community, Assured Information Security and NCS Technologies.

NCS Is at Air Force IT Conference

Posted by Katie Callahan on Aug 23, 2018 1:22:51 PM

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

At Booth 226 NCS is featuring a variety of technologies, including virtual desktops, rugged and SecureView cybersecurity for government and military.
