ECS, a leader in advanced technology, science, and digital

that end, ECS will provide software licensing, engineering
services, training, and laboratory services to support the
accreditation, integration, testing, and fielding of security
software products.
“We are looking forward to partnering with the Army in
modernizing and strengthening its tactical networks,” said John
Heneghan, president of ECS. “ECS currently supports the deployment
of the Army Endpoint Security Solutions (AESS) program,
integrating, testing, accrediting, and fielding solutions that
protect up to 800,000 endpoints. This wealth of experience will
help inform our low-risk methodology in support of the Army’s
network transformation initiative.”
“With this contract award, ECS has the opportunity to help the
Army achieve multiple mission objectives while advancing the
greater strategy of transforming its tactical networks,” said Mark
Maglin, vice president of Department of Defense (DoD) Cybersecurity
