Security/Software Engineering

ManTech’s security/software engineering services provides U.S. government and military agencies with network security, stand-alone systems security, and software/hardware security at Washington Metro, CONUS, and OCONUS locations. Specifically, ManTech has developed, installed, integrated and implemented security services and systems engineering for Windows NT, UNIX, Macintosh and Novell network operating systems; digital signatures and public key technology; privacy enhanced e-mail; trusted systems certification and accreditation; and Internet/ Intranet firewalls. Those services have been provided for a range of systems from laptops to small and large network systems.

We integrate enabling technologies that provide key capabilities - confidentiality, integrity, availability, and accountability - that allow an enterprise to satisfy critical business needs. Today's information systems provide greater access than ever to a multitude of information resources. But this broad connectivity also has a darker side - these same systems are subject to many threats that jeopardize the privacy and confidentiality of sensitive information, the integrity of data, and the availability of critical information system resources. Fortunately, information security technology has matured to the point where technology solutions and engineering approaches are available. Today's challenge is to strike the right balance between new technology opportunities and the risks of implementing these technologies. ManTech strikes this balance by taking an enterprise-wide view of security. We provide services in all areas relevant to information systems security analysis and technology solutions.

Secure Solutions Integration

Our staff understands the multitude of threats to which a system is vulnerable and is well versed in security technologies, including firewall engineering, secure dial-in, unitary login, digital signature and public key encryption, trusted products, and anti-viral software. We conduct marketing trade-off analyses between a system's requirements and commercial products' ability to meet those requirements. We apply our knowledge and tools to integrate information security "point solutions" (both commercial and custom) into existing information system environments. Our expertise in this area extends to Firewalls (Gauntlet, Raptor, V-One, WatchGuard), Network Encryption Systems and Crypto (KG, KY, KIV, STU, TACLANE, FASTLANE) devices.
