Northrop awarded Aussie CND contract
The Australian Department of Defence (DoD) has awarded a contract to Northrop Grumman M5 Network Security for Phase 2B.2 of its Computer Network Defence (CND) project, the company announced on 12 November.
JP 2068 is a multi-phased project to progressively develop a survivable Defence Network Operation Centre capability, which will enable the DoD to more effectively manage, monitor and secure its major communications networks and information systems.
Phase 2B.2 will provide enhanced CND information and computer technology infrastructure, techniques and capabilities to protect core information systems against intrusions and enable correlation of technical details from computer security incidents and network traffic. This phase will also extend the current in-service CND capability internally and improve monitoring across the Defence Information Environment network.
Ian Irving, chief executive, Northrop Grumman Australia, said: ‘This contract marks the formalisation of a partnership between defence and Northrop Grumman Australia as a trusted cyber systems integrator with the ability to deliver enhanced cyber security to defence.’
