OAKTON, Va., June 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/
-- AT&T* completed delivery of Managed Trusted
Internet Protocol Services (MTIPS) to the National Labor Relations
Board (NLRB) in March under GSA's new Enterprise Infrastructure
Solutions (EIS) technology procurement program. It was the first
Task Order completed by an agency and vendor under EIS and allows
NLRB to easily purchase additional advanced technology capabilities
from us using the advantageous pricing structures offered under
EIS.
Our MTIPS service provides NLRB cybersecurity protections
supporting inbound and outbound network traffic to and from the
public internet as well as across NLRB intranet sites. It includes
integration with a capability called Open Threat Exchange (OTX)
that provides open access to a global community of threat
researchers and security professionals. OTX delivers
community-generated threat data, enables collaborative research and
automates the process of updating security infrastructure with
threat data from any source.
MTIPS was developed by the U.S. General Services Administration
(GSA) to allow U.S. Federal agencies to physically and logically
connect to the public Internet and other external connections in
compliance with the Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) Trusted
Internet Connection (TIC) initiative. OMB's TIC initiative aims to
limit the number of access points to federal agency networks to
help improve the government's ability to monitor and manage
malicious network traffic.
"We were able to help the National Labor Relations Board fortify
its network against cyberattacks in a matter of weeks after
receiving the initial Task Order," said Chris Smith, Vice President – Civilian Agencies
and Shared Services, AT&T Global Public Sector. "Our work with
the National Labor Relations Board underscores the ease and speed
with which we are able to transition agencies to EIS."
About the National Labor Relations Board
The National
Labor Relations Board is an independent federal agency vested with
the power to safeguard employees' rights to organize and to
determine whether to have unions as their bargaining
representative. The agency also acts to prevent and remedy unfair
labor practices committed by private sector employers and
unions.
