AT&T and Trinity Cyber Collaborate to
Deliver Innovative, Commercially Managed Cybersecurity Solution to
the Air Force
Malicious actors continue to target our nation's most sensitive
information and systems to undermine our national security, public
safety, and way of life. The Biden Administration continues to
bring forth a strong focus on improving the United States' cyber defenses, and
Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has
released five emergency directives and two binding operational
directives between 2021 and 2022 requiring action on the part of
certain federal agencies. The new Secure Internet Gateway solution
from AT&T and Trinity Cyber offers federal agencies
capabilities that can further enhance their cybersecurity posture
and help them comply with these directives.
"Testing new, commercially provided capabilities that could
improve both cybersecurity and mission performance is an important
step toward the future," said Winston A.
Beauchamp, Deputy Chief Information Officer, Department of
the Air Force. "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 offer the new solution to all federal
government agencies. The solution enables a new approach to
automated threat prevention at scale and speed that can reduce
risk, decrease manual incident response, and enhance 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 Lance Spencer,
Client Executive Vice President – Defense, AT&T Public
Sector. "Our collaboration with Trinity Cyber is another way
for us to demonstrate the power of commercially provided advanced
networking capabilities to help improve mission delivery."
Trinity Cyber invented and operates a full content inspection
capability that automates detective and preventive controls that
actively defeat the threats and techniques used by our Nation's
adversaries. The capability mitigates threats before they can
interact with customer networks, reduces incident response
workloads, and decreases false positives. The Trinity Cyber
solution focuses on the tactics, techniques, and procedures used by
attackers. The capability is fully managed, operated, and supported
by a world-class cybersecurity and operations team.
"The entire team at Trinity Cyber is proud and grateful for this
opportunity," said Thomas P.
Bossert, President of Trinity Cyber. "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."
