The company will continue working with the Defense Information Systems Agency to protect end users from malicious code or content while using the Internet.
By Light Professional IT Services has won a potential five-year, $298.1 million contract to continue its role supporting cloud-based internet isolation infrastructure for the Defense Department.
Under the CBII concept, browser rendering happens in an isolated cloud computing environment instead of the end-user device. The idea is to ensure users only see safe visual streams of websites and are not exposed to any malicious code or content.
The Defense Information Systems Agency awarded the recompete on Monday, according to a Sam.gov notice.
DISA has tasked By Light to provide a reseller-provided managed service for Menlo Security’s Cloud Browser product, which has a user base of 3.2 million across the entire Defense Department.
The new contract’s scope of offerings extends beyond just licenses for the product. By Light will also be responsible for operating, integrating, maintaining and supporting the product within DISA’s security stack.
By Light originally started the work under an Other Transaction Authority project in 2019 that also involved Sealing Technologies, now a subsidiary of Parsons Corp.
By Light secured the production award in 2020 and has been obligated $306 million in order volume since then, according to GovTribe data.
