  • For over a century, General Dynamics has protected our nation through the design and production of ships, tanks, satellites, and information technology. Our innovative solutions help secure America's front lines on the battlefield and in cyberspace.

    General Dynamics brings the same world-class people and technologies that defend our nation to help commercial enterprises mitigate the damage and potential financial liability associated with cyber attacks. We deliver information security solutions proven on the cyber battlefields of the Global War on Terrorism. But, perhaps more importantly, we also bring deep appreciation for the importance of preserving attorney work product and the evidentiary chain of custody. From extracting data to providing admissible forensic evidence, our digital forensics examiners have the experience, know-how, and tools to track an attacker's movements, identify their methods, and implement countermeasures.

    Most of our examiners hold high level security clearances from the U.S. Government. Our expertise and our capacity – over half of the cleared examiners in the country work for General Dynamics – ensure that our clients receive immediate response from the best in the business. Similarly, our cyber protection team brings over 50 years of experience implementing high assurance information systems for the Department of Defense and the Intelligence Community. Through security assessments and penetration testing, we identify your most serious threats and vulnerabilities. We then work with your IT professionals to establish an information security posture that minimizes your risk.

    General Dynamics Digital Forensics
    Delivering the Winning Edge

    Over 90 percent of all business records are created and stored electronically, putting significant company assets at risk when hackers succeed or breaches occur.

    With General Dynamics, damaged data and evidence from your information systems aren't lost for good – they are recovered and restored.

     

    > Containment and Remediation
    With access to experts from over 100 facilities throughout the world, General Dynamics responds quickly with the right people at the right time. Our incident response teams rapidly secure the enterprise and contain the damage of an information security breach to minimize client data loss and financial exposure. We then track the attackers' movements, identify their methods and tools, and implement countermeasures.

    > Digital Forensic Examination
    At the heart of digital forensics is the discovery, extraction, and careful preservation of evidence. Our examiners quickly analyze technical data, including software information, logs, system settings, and meta data, to reveal the series of events and relationships comprising a sophisticated information attack. With decades of forensic experience on more than 1,700 cases, they routinely analyze datasets as large as 180 terabytes. In addition, seventeen of our examiners have been qualified as expert witnesses in court rooms across the country.

    > Data Restoration
    Our professionals not only create forensic images of digital media, they specialize in extracting data from virtually any information storage device from computer disks and cell phones to complex data arrays. Our team has advanced training and experience in recovering data from commercial systems and databases that have been damaged or corrupted by war, catastrophic accident, natural disasters, and criminal activity.

    > Data Preservation
    General Dynamics understands the importance of preserving the integrity of restored data. We use proven techniques to preserve evidentiary chain of custody and to protect attorney work product. By applying our national security expertise to work for law firms, retailers and other enterprises, and leveraging our Capability Maturity Model® Integrated (CMMI) certified development capacity, our professionals have created custom software that automates the data identification and extraction process greatly reducing the risk of human error and decreasing the time required to properly process data.

    Whether your situation calls for complete media imaging, a quick retrieval of all word processing documents, or a search for specific emails, our expertise delivers the winning edge.

    General Dynamics Cyber Protection
    Risk Reduction

    The commercial and economic infrastructures of our nation – from consumer data to financial transactions – are at risk on a daily basis. Since 2001, cyber attacks have cost American businesses over $141 billion.

    The same experience that General Dynamics uses to protect the nation's critical infrastructure can help protect your business against cyber attacks and IT risks.

     

    Risk Reduction: A Growing Imperative
    Daily headlines report cyber intrusions into corporate networks that potentially compromise internal proprietary data as well as sensitive customer information. These events damage reputations and expose companies to significant regulatory scrutiny and potential liability. When it comes to protecting consumer data and customer information, businesses are expected to exercise the highest level of due diligence.

    Hacker Sophistication
    Hackers are becoming more sophisticated and tenacious. From keystroke logger programs, to virus threats, to corporate instant messenger networks, hackers are rapidly developing new threats. A 3,000 percent quarterly increase in instant messenger viruses is just one example of the infinite number of ways hackers are becoming more sophisticated. The good news is that General Dynamics can help you stay ahead of the threat.

    The General Dynamics Advantage
    As a principal provider of our nation's critical infrastructure protection, General Dynamics brings unparalleled experience in designing, developing, and deploying high assurance information protection systems supporting critical operations. Your clients don't get guess work, theories, and finger pointing; you receive proven solutions that deliver maximum protection and a single point of accountability.

    > Risk Assessment and Mitigation
    The three core elements of cyber protection are PEOPLE, OPERATIONS, and TECHNOLOGY. We optimize each of these elements by leveraging our Department of Defense and Intelligence Community experience. We show you where you are vulnerable and guide you in establishing an information security posture that mitigates risks.

    > Network Hardening
    Our professionals, who have experience with both complex government and commercial systems, are trained on all major vendor product lines and understand the full range of applications used in today's IT enterprise, including intranets, wireless and cellular technologies, PDAs, smart phones, and global positioning devices. Because we also are in the product development business, we have deep insight into the limitations of commercial intrusion protection products. The benefit to you? Comprehensive and cost effective network hardening strategies that maximize use of your existing IT investments.

    > Policy, Training and Auditing
    Technical solutions are only part of a successful cyber protection program. Intelligent policies, effective training, and prudent auditing are equally important. General Dynamics' comprehensive offering delivers the peace of mind that comes from knowing your information and critical transactions are safe 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and the convenience of a single provider for all your information security needs.

    General Dynamics delivers proven solutions and a single point of accountability for all of your information protection needs.
