NACON has supported the U.S. Government in many aspects of Information Assurance. We have experience in the following areas:

• Sensor Grid Management – We have the knowledge and experience to provide customers with enterprise-level support for the design and operation of sensor grids of all sizes. We have been managing a 400+ node sensor grid for the past 7 years and have incorporated many of the lessons learned into our business model. We are able to ensure the health and welfare of your sensors as a separate and highly specialized function that differs from intrusion data analysis.
• Data Analysis – We have staff members who are skilled in the performance of intrusion data analysis and network traffic monitoring.
• Information Security Architecture and Analysis – This service includes network security analysis and structuring, with recommendations for layering your protective measures, eliminating unneeded services and hardening your defenses. We have a knowledgeable staff that can solve your unique problems with customized solutions.
• Security Policy Development – Our staff can perform assessments of current information security policies and develop new policies based on your organization's needs and current security standards.

SPECIAL Small Business Security Review – NACON is offering our 360 degree Security Audit as a special service to small businesses who normally cannot afford a full-service Security Review of their Networks and Systems. This service is limited to small (10 node or less) networks and includes the following:

• Security Scan of your network with report and recommendations on potential problem areas;
• Our guide lists for small businesses on what they can accomplish within their typically limited budget;
• Consultation with your network administrator or the person in your organization who maintains your computers;
• Out-brief with you and your staff.

Case Study

Project Name:

Security Handbook

Goal:

The Customer was looking for a more effective way of defining and organizing security requirements and job roles within their organization.

Solution:

NACON created an innovative security handbook which was the first to break out security requirements by topic and provide cross references to the employees' job roles.

Benefits:

The Customer now has a more efficient set of criteria in place for their security measures and work overview. The handbook model was so effective that it was later adopted by other departments within the Customer's organization.
