Provides military services, DOD agencies
with access to zero-trust technology
FORT
MEADE, Md., July 28,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, the Defense Information
Systems Agency awarded a follow-on production other transaction
authority (OTA) agreement for Thunderdome, DISA's zero trust
network access and application security architecture.
Awarding this production agreement is an
important step on DISA's zero-trust journey to provide for
warfighters.
Thunderdome will harden the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD)
networks and help warfighters defend against adversarial activity
by employing network and resource access tools along with
segmentation technologies. DISA's Thunderdome capabilities work in
concert with identity and endpoint cybersecurity capabilities, and
align to the president's Executive Order on Improving the Nation's
Cybersecurity and the DoD's Zero Trust Strategy.
"Awarding this Thunderdome production agreement is an important
step on our zero-trust journey and furthers DISA's mission to
provide warfighters with a more secure operating environment," said
Air Force Lt. Gen. Robert J.
Skinner, DISA director and Joint Force
Headquarters-Department of Defense Information Network Commander.
"While DISA leverages these capabilities on our cyber terrain, this
full-scale production agreement can be used to assist the military
services and other DoD components in implementing key zero-trust
activities."
This follow-on agreement to Booz Allen
Hamilton is to broadly implement and operate Thunderdome's
zero trust network access and application security architecture and
comes after successful completion of an 18-month prototype. The
period of performance for this follow-on OTA is for a one-year base
period, with four one-year option periods for a total agreement
lifecycle of five years (August 2023
through August 2028).
"The experience gained in partnership with industry as we
implemented the prototype solution over the last 18 months has been
invaluable, and we believe this award positions the department to
meet critical zero trust adoption timelines in support of our
warfighters" said Christopher
Barnhurst, DISA deputy director. "We look forward to
accelerating implementation activities and partnering across the
department to expand access to the zero-trust capabilities
Thunderdome provides."
