NATO extends Selex cyber security contract
NATO has awarded a $21.51 million contract to Selex, a subsidiary of Finmeccanica, to extend NATO Computer Incident Response Capability (NCIRC) Full Operational Capability (FOC) to additional sites over the next two years, Finmeccanica announced on 15 September.
NCIRC is a cyber-security service designed, operated and implemented by Selex. It provides cyber-incident detection, management capability, and includes a platform for capability expansion to support technical evolution with evolving cyber threats to NATO.
After the successful completion of the initial programme, the company will extend NCIRC FOC to a number of additional NATO sites under the new contract. The contract is a part of NATO's Cyber Defence Action Plan.
Selex put NCIRC FOC in service from May 2014.
