As a part of its global network security strategy, the Navy will deploy NetRanger systems in selected land and sea-based networks and monitor them from its network operation centers. BTG Inc., WheelGroup's strategic partner and exclusive supplier to the Department of Defense, will provide worldwide integration services to support the deployment.
Details are currently under negotiation.
When an attempted hacking attack or security violation occurs from either an external or internal source on a network, NetRanger can detect the violation in real-time and can automatically eliminate the attack from the network. At the same time, NetRanger provides alarms regarding the security event to one or more centralized monitoring stations. In addition to identifying the attack source, NetRanger alarms also provide detailed information about the type, destination, and context of the attack. Such information can enable Navy operations personnel to respond immediately to security incidents and ensure the integrity of the network. NetRanger also provides a database to capture historical attack information.
