Navy Cyber Defense Operations Command Receives National Award For Outstanding Information Systems Security
(NAVY NEWS SERVICE 18 NOV 11) ... Chief Information Systems Technician Tyree Scott, NCDOC Public Affairs Officer

FORT GEORGE G. MEADE, Md. -- Navy Cyber Defense Operations Command (NCDOC) was awarded the 2010 Frank B. Rowlett award for Organizational Excellence Nov. 17 during a ceremony held on Fort George G. Meade.
Established in 1989 in honor of cryptologic pioneer Frank B. Rowlett, the National Security Agency presents the award annually to the U.S. Government organization recognized as making the most significant contribution to improving national information systems security, operational information assurance readiness, or the defense information operations posture of the United States. The ceremony marks the first time a Navy command has received the prestigious recognition since the award was established.
As the Defense Department's leading computer network defense service provider, NCDOC has contributed immeasurably to the defense of the United States. During this awarding period NCDOC took cyber situational awareness to the next level by developing the Navy Cyber Defense Core (Cyber Core). Cyber Core is a decision support capability displaying timely and relevant cyber defense information in an innovative manner by using a combination of traditional reports and interactive visualizations. It supports role-based decision making by delivering customized dashboard views and improved internal and external reporting in a user friendly, web-service environment. Cyber Core provides a one-stop shop for the consumption of information based on data gathered, analyzed and stored within the Navy's cyber defense information systems.
NCDOC also spearheaded the development of the Navy's Host Based Security Systems (HBSS) roll up architecture. This architecture provides the ability to collect Navy computer asset and event data on a scale never before achieved in the DoD. The command developed a hierarchal data roll up capability to enable the Navy to receive HBSS event and asset data and then provide that data to U.S. Cyber Command. NCDOC personnel were instrumental in providing the necessary technical expertise to make HBSS data aggregation possible and were the driving force in the realization of this revolutionary architecture.
NCDOC is the Navy's only computer network defense service provider and is charged with defending the Navy's unclassified and secret computer networks. More than 280 military, civilians, and contract personnel fight the "net" through aggressive detection and analysis of adversary cyber operations while directing proactive defensive actions to counter threats. The personnel of NCDOC are recognized across the DoD as leaders and technical experts in the cyber defense mission area.
