Nearly every major IT enterprise already has an IT security infrastructure. The current security infrastructures for Network Operations (NETOPS) include the deployment of hardware and software as well as oversight by a variety of security personnel (such as network administrators and communications experts).This legacy capability is vital to any future solution – it should not be viewed as something which has to be replaced in order to achieve evolving objectives for improved security, but rather needs to be viewed as a resource to be harnessed by those new solutions.
Our solution recognizes the need to maintain and integrate these capabilities into the emerging proactive Cyber solutions of the future and to support Cyber operations.
The CCS Practice Cyber NETOPS solution consists of the following core capabilities:
- Network Architecture & Design – The practice of network design will undergo a radical change near-term as it is understood that every network, no matter its size, will need to take the larger community into consideration in both its structure and daily operations.
- Network Deployment – The ability to deploy new data centers or reconfigure existing ones.
- Network Consolidation – This represents one of the most pressing challenges facing large organizations today. We specialize in developing Area Processing Center and Network Service Center consolidation constructs.
- Network Management – Existing networks require constant care and oversight. Even without design changes to those networks or data centers, the management processes must be modified to achieve more proactive capabilities.
- Frequency Management – IP networks are only one part of the much larger Cyber spectrum. Phone, mobile, broadcast and satellite infrastructures are all now very much part of Cyberspace.
- Communications Management / IA– The medium and the message are often thought of as different things; however in Cyberspace we must manage both. This involves the ability to manage content from a security perspective and also to ensure communications-related processes are operational within service level parameters.
- DIB Management – The Defense Industrial Base is the commercial counterpart to government and military networks. Solutions that ignore impact to one sector or the other leave both vulnerable. This capability offers security coordination between connected government and commercial networks.
NETOPS is already well understood within more narrow contexts...
