Security
SAIC is a world leader in information security. We design, develop, and deploy information security technology and solutions that protect mission-critical information and resources for organizations worldwide. We help our clients at every stage of the information life cycle, from crafting policies and criteria to development, administration, operation, management, certification, and accreditation for secure information systems.
For the U.S. Army, Navy, and Marine Corps, SAIC is helping deploy nearly 3 million "smart cards" to all active duty personnel and selected reservists and civilians. The cards, incorporating PKI and digital signature technology, will replace existing ID cards and will be required to access buildings and computer networks.
SAIC is a prime on the DISA INFOSEC Technical Services contract, available for use government-wide. Our capabilities include:
- Establishing security policy and guidance
- Performing threat and vulnerability analysis
- Analyzing and managing risk
- Integrating various security disciplines in defining comprehensive security architectures
- Developing secure operational processes and procedures
- Implementing trusted software applications
- Supporting certification and accreditation activities for both government and commercial systems
- Remote monitoring of firewalls in a 24 x 7 network operations center
- Developing public key infrastructures
- Engineering and installing virtual private networks
- Smart Card technology
- Biometrics integration.
SAIC operates a certified Trust Technology Assessment Program (TTAP) Evaluation Facility (TEF). TTAP is a joint National Security Agency (NSA) and National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) effort to establish commercial facilities to perform trusted product evaluations. The program focuses on products with features and assurances characterized by the Trusted Computer System Evaluation Criteria (TCSEC) at the B1 level of trust and below.
SAIC supports Air Force activities in monitoring compliance with existing and future nuclear weapons testing treaties using several techniques, each designed to monitor a specific physical domain (i.e., space, atmosphere, oceans, and underground) for nuclear detonations. We developed the US National Data Center (NDC) and alternate NDC (disaster recovery site) to meet the requirements, provide systems engineering, overall systems integration, and test and evaluation.
