Network Security

Networks bring tremendous advantages to organizations large and small, but they also create a liability: Hackers and "cyberthieves" annually cost U.S. firms and government agencies billions of dollars in malicious damage, theft, and fraud. This is true even for organizations that are not linked to the Internet.

CSC, which has been building secure networks for government and businesses for decades, can help you protect your invaluable electronic resources. Our experts can analyze your organization's networks to determine your requirements, perform trade studies, and develop prototypes to verify our assessments. We can select the best leading-edge, standards-based products for your needs, whether you need a secure telephone unit (STU), a network encryption unit (NEU), a smart card encryption algorithm, a signature authority mechanism, or other security device. Our security solutions also can safeguard your Internet sites for electronic commerce and protect you from malicious break-ins.

Success Stories

CSC has been providing the Department of Defense with security solutions to protect its classified information for over 40 years. For example, we provide secure telephone units (STU-IIIs) and network encryption units (NEUs) for virtual private networks that enable Reserve Component Automation System (RCAS) and other users to encrypt classified information. For the Defense Messaging System (DMS), we are implementing fortezza, the National Security Administration-approved smart card encryption algorithm to protect valuable Defense information. CSC has provided this same level of trust for the civil sector too.

CSC is also building network security solutions to protect federal accounting systems for such civil agencies as the Department of Justice and the Department of State.

In the area of data privacy, CSC has helped health care professionals protect telemedicine data and patient records. Our solutions include network devices, encryption algorithms, database control mechanisms, passwords, and digital signatures. We have also designed security solutions for intranets and extranets, both in and out of the health care industry.
