at Fort Hood (Fort Hood) announced today the selection by The
Aberdeen Group of the US Army Directorate of Information Management
(DOIM) at Fort Hood for its 2005 Best Security Practices award.
Nominated organizations were selected based on implementing best
practices in the following 5 major areas of specialization for
security: -- Network infrastructure -- Identity and access -- Host,
data, application, and information protection -- Threat and
vulnerability and change management -- Security policies,
procedures, audit, and risk management reporting Aberdeen's
Compliance, Security and Risk Management practice then carefully
screened all nominees from around the world using 11 different
categories of rigorous IT security criteria. Only ten organizations
were selected for the award from the field of nominees including
Commercial Companies, State, Local and Federal government
institutions, Universities and other entities. "Like all
organizations today, the information infrastructure supporting our
troops for the US Army at Fort Hood is under constant attack from
multiple fronts and from enemies using different types of weapons,"
explained Dennis Sheppard, Director of Information Management at
Fort Hood. "The DOIM's Information Assurance team worked closely
with strategic vendor partners such as Intrusion Inc., to implement
the necessary countermeasures required to safeguard our IT systems
and support the Army's mission to win the Global War on Terror.
We're pleased to be recognized as one of only 10 organizations in
the world selected for this prestigious award." Intrusion's Common
Criteria certified SecureNet systems were deployed, along with the
company's Security Status Review (SSR) program to help increase
visibility of attack details and employ fast-action "under-attack"
response mechanisms such as intrusion prevention, real-time
displays and sophisticated forensic analyses. In addition to the
Army's SecureNet system for intrusion prevention, the Fort Hood
DOIM deployed Intrusion's SecureNet SpySnare to block all forms of
spyware and unauthorized peer-to-peer communications, often a
source of spyware infections. Ben Bittle, Director of Product
Management added, "One result of our close partnering with the Fort
Hood DOIM was the creation of a new SecureNet reporting system the
Army now calls their MA-COM Report. The new report breaks down
security event details by the Army's Major Command organizations,
allowing DOIM IA personnel to more effectively deploy resources
when needed." About The Aberdeen Group The Aberdeen Group is the
