Overview
Program Title
SECURITY
Description
The purpose of the security initiative is to protect the DFAS communications and computing infrastructure assets on the DFAS Enterprise Local Area Network from internal and external threats manifested as unauthorized access attempts, electronic viruses, hacks, cracks, or automated scripts. This is accomplished using firewalls, email guards, network encryption technology, intrusion detection systems and other security related equipment. Government and contracted expertise monitor and manipulate this equipment to ensure the DFAS ELAN is a safe computing environment. SECURITY focuses computer network defense services and vulnerability assessment of the enterprise local network and systems operating on that network throughout DFAS. Security investments are tracked separately from ELAN because they apply to all systems within DFAS. SECURITY0037 closely related to ELAN9817.
