WWT and Klas Telecom Deliver Mobile CSfC Solution in Response to NCIA Innovation Challenge
World Wide Technology (News - Alert), Inc. (WWT), a market-leading systems integrator
that provides innovative technology and supply chain solutions, today
announced that it has partnered with Klas Telecom (News - Alert) to design and deliver
a secure, modular, robust and ruggedized mobile solution leveraging
Cisco and Klas technology in response to the NATO Communication and
Information Agency (NCIA) Innovation Challenge. The solution, which
aligns directly with the National Security Agency (News - Alert) (NSA) Commercial
Solutions for Classified (CSfC) program, provides the ability to
securely communicate based on commercial standards that can be fielded
in weeks, rather than months.
"WWT considers CSfC as a security evolution that enables our customers
to securely transfer classified data in the field while leverage
technology they already have deployed within their existing
architecture," said Bob Olwig, Vice President of Business Strategy and
Innovation with WWT.
"We were excited to work with WWT to bring this cutting-edge solution to
the field and demonstrate its flexibility, security and
cost-effectiveness for the NCIA Innovation Challenge," said David
Huisenga, President and CEO with Klas Telecom Government, Inc.
The mobile CSfC solution designed by WWT and Klas uses Cisco (News - Alert) routers
with IPsec/GRE tunnels for its outer VPN, and virtualized Cisco
firewalls with IPsec tunnels for its inner VPN. Designed for ultimate
flexibility and speed, the mobile solution kit also uses Klas Voyager, a
modular and scalable networking system of systems designed to meet the
requirements of military and government communications in any
operational environment.
To ensure protection for classified data, a virtualized firewall
utilizing Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance Virtual (ASAv) is deployed
on Klas VoyagerVMm, which saves space with network virtualization, while
also delivering the option to provide services at the edge. The solution
also uses Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) technology along with
quantum computer resistant and next-generation encryption algorithms to
deliver the highest levels of secrity and data segregation to users.
The WWT Cisco and Klas Telecom CSfC solution was submitted for
consideration in the NCIA Innovation Challenge, which is aimed at
accelerating transformational, state-of-the-art technology solutions in
support of NATO C4ISR and cyber capability requirements. The full
proposal, which includes detailed solution schematics, benefits and
architecture, can be requested by contacting Jon Kelly with WWT directly
at [email protected].
