Breakout Session: Always Classified, Often Mobile – CSfC Solutions for a Unique Workforce

Description

Mobile personnel working with sensitive and classified information cannot risk information leakage or identity disclosure. These employees need a mobile device that enables them to work without geographical restrictions while protecting against operating system vulnerabilities, configuration errors, errant or malicious code, traffic sniffing, location tracking, and other threats. The NSA had this requirement in mind when it created the Commercial Solution for Classified (CSfC) Mobile Access Capability Package (MA CP). However, most of today’s CSfC-compliant mobile devices are expensive, complicated to use in the field, and difficult to roll out and manage at scale. 

ID Technologies has developed a suite of CSfC enabled products that can securely connect the Cyber warrior at the last mile endpoint to the cloud. ID Technologies’ Archon ZV secure laptop or phone is a CSfC compliant endpoint built on a Dell laptop or Google Pixel phone, used for secure access to multi-domains. A secure Linux based OS and custom mobile OS provide military-grade Security for the unique requirements of cyber operations. The first-ever turnkey mobility solution that meets CSfC program requirements, provides an excellent end-user experience, and operates efficiently in diverse locations and challenging conditions. The Archon ZV solution enables government agencies, private sector enterprises, and law enforcement organizations to protect data and critical infrastructure against attacks by cybercriminals and cyberterrorists. 

The scalability and ease of use of this system allow federal customers to deploy new systems directly from the factory in a matter of minutes as opposed to hours or days as required by legacy solutions. Archon Cloud Fabric, a part of the Archon Suite, is an enterprise gray cloud fabric solution that provides last-mile transport to those critical end-users. When paired together, the Archon Suite enables secure cloud connectivity virtually anywhere in the world. This enterprise-class solution has been built from the ground up to scale to support any size organization featuring factory configuration and remote certificate renewals. In this critical time, the Archon Suite provides a work-from-home solution, greater productivity for tactical mission users, and greater Security for mission-sensitive systems.
