Cybersecurity

According to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), reported information security incidents grew 60% in 2007 with foreign hackers successfully penetrating key systems, including the Departments of Defense, Homeland Security and Commerce. At the same time, calls to streamline information sharing and provide greater transparency continue unabated. Clearly, more aggressive and proactive approaches to Cybersecurity are needed.

We understand this criticality and we can help you balance the need to make information both open and secure. Our team of cleared and accredited professionals have spent the majority of their career working within the Intelligence Community, developing trusted solutions and offering dynamic mission support around all aspects of information security and assurance.

They help organizations comply with the most critical security standards, including:

• Federal Information Processing Standards
• S-CAP
• DCID 6/3
• DIACAP
• FISMA
• HIPAA
• 800-53

We help sector leaders address requirements throughout the information security and assurance lifecycle, including:

• Network Security and Forensics – Network integrity encompasses more than just border control and outside-in access. Instead, threats and vulnerabilities must be measured and assessed throughout the organization’s network architecture. Our security analysts and engineers execute a point-by-point review of your network infrastructure, safeguarding both your assets and your critical IT systems without diminishing needed access. With network forensics, we dig even deeper in the wire to analyze and prevent false and malfeasant traffic from breaching your security parameters.
• Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing – Target systems are fully analyzed and documented as part of a comprehensive vulnerability assessment. In our evaluation, we test for system patch compliance and other chinks in the armor of application security and patch management. Based on our belief that vigilance is never-ending, we then perform automated penetration testing across a number of scenarios to ensure that nothing has been overlooked. Services are delivered in either a black box scenario or in full view of your scope.
• Intrusion Prevention and Detection – Agilex engineers have spent years honing their skills on complete and proper usage and placement of IP/ID systems. We utilize both the capabilities embedded in your existing systems as well as third-party applications to strengthen both the security and robustness of your infrastructure.
• Malware Defense – Through a strategic relationship with HBGary, Agilex is able to provide clients with the industry’s most advanced memory investigation and malware analysis system for the Microsoft Windows® platform. With HBGary Responder Professional, security professionals can analyze computer memory and automatically reverse engineer malware attacks. By identifying the source and nature of the threat, organizations can more readily mitigate risk by taking corrective action.
• Certification and Accreditation (C&A) – Diligent planning and specialized resources are needed throughout the application lifecycle to comply with the myriad of government regulations and guidance in place for maintaining a secure and robust IT infrastructure. With deep knowledge of the requirements mandated by the revised Federal Information Processing Standard, we help government agencies architect and document key systems to fulfill detailed requirements for each phase of the C & A process. Our experts are equally knowledgeable of a number of other standards, such as the Security Content Automation Protocols (S-CAP), and work closely with clients to facilitate adoption of these new practices.
