CSRA wins $114 million task order to secure Pentagon office networks

CSRA recently won a $114 million, four-and-a-half year task order to support various offices in the Pentagon through the development and deployment of an in-depth security network strategy.
 
CSRA’s network strategy will work to block, detect, react and respond to incidents as well as work to prevent them by putting tactics, techniques and procedures in place. The task order also includes cooperation with military groups like U.S. Cyber Command to ensure that personnel are aware of any incidents and potential threats.
 
"Oftentimes, highly sophisticated technology is seen as the top defense against a cyberattack or intrusion," CSRA Defense Group Executive Vice President Ken Deutsch said. "While having the right technology in place is a critical element of a successful cybersecurity plan, we've found that developing and deploying a comprehensive network strategy -- and collaborating with other parts of the government -- is equally as important and needed to defend an organization's IT system effectively."
 
The task order was awarded under the CIO-SP3 contract vehicle through the Department of Defense Joint Service Provider program. CSRA is an IT solutions and services company that focuses on protecting systems and improving effectiveness as well as efficiency.
