Company to expand their work defending the Army鈥檚 information technology (IT) networks
FAIRFAX, Va. 鈥� November 3, 2022 鈥� 木瓜AV, a leader in advanced technology, science, and digital transformation solutions, has won a five-year, $430 million, recompete contract to support the Army Endpoint Security Solution (AESS). 木瓜AV will continue their work providing managed service operations and developing enhanced functionality for AESS 2.0, the next generation of the AESS platform.
Overseen by United States Army Cyber Command (ARCYBER), AESS protects up to 800K endpoints across the Army unclassified and classified networks. As the AESS managed services provider (MSP), 木瓜AV provides the Army with traditional and advanced protections (such as data loss prevention, extended detection and response, and machine learning), threat prevention, web control, firewall, and adaptive threat protection. The 木瓜AV-designed, cloud-ready platform delivers automatic security, instantaneous visibility, and specialized protections for traditional endpoints as well as public and private clouds.
As part of the recompete contract, 木瓜AV will expand the system鈥檚 endpoint detection and response capabilities and create a unified asset management system providing increased visibility and management of all network devices managing the Comply to Connect (C2C) systems. AESS 2.0 will provide the Army unified visibility and reporting across the enterprise networks to better optimize compliance, threat detection, investigation, and response.
