Company to expand their work defending the Army’s information
technology (IT) networks
ECS, a leader in advanced technology, science, and digital
transformation solutions, has won a five-year, $430 million,
recompete contract to support the Army Endpoint Security Solution
(AESS). ECS will continue their work providing managed service
operations and developing enhanced functionality for AESS 2.0, the
next generation of the AESS platform.
Overseen by United States Army Cyber Command (ARCYBER), AESS
protects up to 800K endpoints across the Army unclassified and
classified networks. As the AESS managed services provider (MSP),
ECS provides the Army with traditional and advanced protections
(such as data loss prevention, extended detection and response, and
machine learning), threat prevention, web control, firewall, and
adaptive threat protection. The ECS-designed, cloud-ready platform
delivers automatic security, instantaneous visibility, and
specialized protections for traditional endpoints as well as public
and private clouds.
As part of the recompete contract, ECS will expand the system’s
endpoint detection and response capabilities and create a unified
asset management system providing increased visibility and
management of all network devices managing the Comply to Connect
(C2C) systems. AESS 2.0 will provide the Army unified visibility
and reporting across the enterprise networks to better optimize
compliance, threat detection, investigation, and response.
“Cybersecurity threats continue to evolve, and with AESS 2.0,
ECS is collaborating with ARCYBER and the Army’s Network Enterprise
Technology Command (NETCOM) to deliver a zero-trust solution to
help the Army defend its unified networks against these emerging
threats,” said Mark Maglin, vice president of DoD Cybersecurity at
ECS. “Our open architecture allows for continuous innovation and
integration. We look forward to continuing our strong partnership
with ARCYBER and NETCOM.”
“For the past six years, ECS has provided ARCYBER with
industry-leading managed IT and cybersecurity services,” said John
Heneghan, president of ECS. “AESS 2.0 will not only improve the
security of Army networks, but also enhance the Army’s threat
intelligence capabilities by enabling the solution to integrate
with the Army’s big data platform, GABRIEL NIMBUS, as well as other
Department of Defense (DoD) data platforms. We are honored to
continue the critical AESS mission.”
