"For nearly six years, SAIC has provided highly skilled network security support to the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command System Center San Diego and its 20,000+ device wide-area networks. Well done to this great team of security professionals!"
- Ron Broersma, SPAWAR Network Security Manager
To improve the overall security posture of an important government facility - the SPAWAR System Center in San Diego - we strengthened network and data security, and analyzed physical security threats and vulnerabilities.
Protecting Physical Facilities
We help municipalities and federal customers identify terrorism threats, and assess risks to critical water infrastructure and drinking supplies. For the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, we help protect 252 dam sites and major hydropower generation plants across the western U.S., including Hoover, Grand Coulee, and Glen Canyon dams.
Emerging biometrics technologies promise to provide better access control for facilities. For DARPA, we are pioneering and fusing next generation biometric technologies, such as extracting heartbeat and facial features to identify humans at a distance. We also improve and deploy the latest proven biometrics technologies using fingerprint scans.
Securing Information Networks
SAIC helps safeguard the information assets of government agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), and the Veterans Administration (VA). For example, we act as information security architect for both the USDA and VA. In addition, we help ensure that computer security incidents within both agencies are quickly dealt with and have minimal impact on the availability and integrity of agency services.
Our thorough understanding of cybersecurity also helps the U.S. Department of Defense safeguard critical military infrastructure. SAIC is the leader in the number of awarded tasks on the Defense Information Systems Agency I-Assure contract. Our tasks have included integrating public key infrastructure, analyzing security policy for NATO and the coalition on the war on terrorism, and supporting the combatant commanders by engineering and installing cross-domain security solutions, assessing information assurance readiness, and providing network operations and security capability.
Our Common Criteria Testing Laboratory enables the U.S. government to trust the security of commercial products used by the government's IT infrastructure. The Microsoft® Windows 2000 Server operating system successfully completed the lab's rigorous testing, and other operating systems, servers, and network products are being tested.
Ensuring Business Continuity
Commercial enterprises rely on our managed services to raise their security levels. For a major insurance provider, our center monitors client networks to identify unauthorized activity and help respond to intrusions. Our disaster recovery and business continuity consulting services are used by clients such as Connexion by Boeing, which provides high-speed Internet access to aircraft in flight.
