Cybersecurity

Today’s enterprise network and security managers must deal with a growing list of cyber threats that include spyware/malware, hackers, bot-networks, phishers, spammers, and criminal entities. Without fully protecting the network from such threats an organization may fall prey to denial of service attacks or theft of sensitive or classified data. NES Associates has the technical and managerial expertise to assist large organizations with enterprise-level defense against cyber threats. Typical engagements include:

DLA Host Based Security Solution (HBSS). As part of an ongoing DoD information assurance initiative, NES is assisting the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA with the technical expertise to plan, configure, and deploy HBSS. HBSS provides a comprehensive suite of tools designed to protect end-user nodes from both known and unknown malicious threats. NES has configured over 30,000 nodes within DLA with the requisite software, and has provided subject-matter expertise in configuring and ‘tuning’ HBSS for the DLA applications and mission.
