Telos will provide software implementation, training, migration services and subject matter expertise in support of the transition effort.
John Wood, CEO and chairman, Telos, said: ‘The US Air Force has historically been a leader of the Department of Defence’s (DoD’s) network improvements and innovations.‘The president’s recent executive order on cybersecurity clears the way forward on adopting the NIST framework and a cloud first approach to security control and modernisation for the DoD and the rest of the government. Telos is proud to be a part of the air force team.’
