CSC Bolsters Cyber Security Offering

Computer Sciences Corp. is taking its government security expertise to the private sector with a new enterprise information risk management service, the El Segundo, Calif.-based company announced Dec. 11.

The service, known as CSC CyberCare, addresses such requirements as audit preparation and readiness support for financial institutions, privacy and confidentiality assurance for the healthcare industry, and information and operations security for manufacturing, energy, aerospace and chemical and oil industries.

CSC CyberCare was originally developed by the company's Global Information Security Service unit to support the company's federal government clients, which include the U.S. Agency for International Development, Defense Information Systems Agency and General Services Administration.

In the federal sector, CSC won a major task order contract Nov. 29 from GSA to provide computer investigation training courses for military law enforcement professionals.

The eight-year contract is worth more than $86 million if all options are exercised, the company said. The courses will be provided through the Department of Defense Computer Investigations Training Program.
CSC has more than 1,000 security specialists positioned to support clients around the world whether they need simple security consulting, around the clock managed security services or complete information security outsourcing, said Joe Stafford, head of the Global Information Security Service Unit.

To do this, the company has information security labs in Maryland, Virginia and Texas as well as overseas, he said.

"We can simulate virtually any client architecture and configuration as we design and test new, high-confidence solutions to keep our clients well ahead of the information protection curve," Stafford said.
