Computer network defense

Under constant attack from state-sponsored, non-affiliated and insider threats, government organizations face an array of cyber attacks against their networks and critical infrastructure. Federal leaders require a dynamic defense that can adjust rapidly to emerging threats and deliver uninterrupted communications support required to accomplish their mission.

CGI delivers computer network defense services and solutions—including sophisticated vulnerability assessments and defense in-depth design and expert integration of leading-edge cyber defense technologies—to anticipate, fortify, protect and continuously reinforce networks and infrastructure against attacks ranging from individual hackers to advanced persistent threats.

CGI experts prove themselves every day working in high-intensity engagements with U.S. military and intelligence nerve centers and high-profile multi-national defense programs, successfully defending U.S. government networks, critical infrastructure and corporate intellectual property against more than 40 million highly sophisticated attack incidents per day. Areas of CGI expertise honed in these high stakes cyber theaters—and subsequently deployed to protect our clients—include:

• NexGen firewall: Expertly configured next-generation firewalls that deliver a hardened first line of defense and access control
  • Web content filtering with enterprise-wide inspection and policy enforcement of all traffic traversing the Internet/internal network boundary
  • Management of defensive boundaries protecting client web traffic from malware (e.g., viruses, worms embedded in web traffic intended to infiltrate the enterprise)
  • Logistical and implementation support to coordinate across multiple Internet Access Point (IAP) sites to provide the symmetrical routing
• 360º network view: Continuous monitoring and early warning alerts, log management and analysis, and reporting associated with monitored/managed devices
• First response: Operations and exercise planning based on fused cyber intelligence, rapid incident response to disrupt and degrade active attacks, and incident response reporting
• Cyber recovery: Advanced computer forensics, data recovery and system hardening
• Insider threat detection: Identity management and access control, multi-factor/multi-modal biometrics, digital DNA markers, cyber behavior monitoring, training on insider threat, social engineering, phishing and cyber hygiene
• Cybersecurity training: Expert tailored training to expedite client team ramp up on new security technologies, policies and processes, with options to conduct training at CGI’s cyber training lab, or via our mobile and virtual training centers that bring security training to the client
