AT&T and Trinity Cyber, Inc. have been working together to provide a cybersecurity solution commercially managed and aimed at benefiting the U.S. Air Force.
The Secure Internet Gateway is expected to bolster cybersecurity measures and decrease risks for Air Force networks.
The Biden administration’s priority remains on enhancing the country’s cyber defenses, as evidenced by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency’s issuance of five emergency directives and two binding operational directives between 2021 and 2022. These directives mandate certain federal agencies to take action.
The latest offering from AT&T and Trinity Cyber provides federal agencies with advanced capabilities that can further strengthen their cybersecurity stance and facilitate compliance with these directives.
“Testing new, commercially provided capabilities that could improve both cybersecurity and mission performance is an important step toward the future,” said Air Force Deputy Chief Information Officer Winston A. Beauchamp. “We look forward to the analysis of the test data demonstrating a solid case for broader adoption of this approach across the Department of the Air Force.”
AT&T and Trinity Cyber’s new solution is available to all federal agencies, which introduces a fresh approach to automated threat prevention at a rapid pace and large scale. This approach is anticipated to reduce the level of risk, minimize the need for manual incident response and elevate national cybersecurity protections.
“The Air Force’s test of this commercially provided advanced cybersecurity solution is a huge step toward improving understanding of how our nation’s cyber defenses can be strengthened,” said Client Executive Vice President – Defense, AT&T Public Sector Lance Spencer.
Trinity Cyber has created and currently operates a comprehensive content inspection capability, which automates the process of detecting and preventing controls that actively counter the methods and tactics used by adversaries.
“The entire team at Trinity Cyber is proud and grateful for this opportunity,” said Trinity Cyber President Thomas P. Bossert. “It represents the culmination of multiple years of effort to reimagine network technology capabilities, improve collaboration between American industry and government, and build security into every aspect of our daily operations.”
