a business unit of AT&T Inc. (NYSE: T), is the first Networx contract holder
to be awarded the Managed Trusted IP Services (MTIPS) from the U.S. General
Services Administration (GSA).
MTIPS is a modification to the Networx Universal contract that allows
federal agencies to order IP services that comply with Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) Memorandum 08-05 that was issued
action calls for implementation of the Trusted Internet Connections (TIC)
mandate, which required agencies to reduce the number of connections to the
public Internet and to provide secure IP portals for agency traffic to and
from the public Internet.
“The Managed Trusted IP Services award from GSA clearly illustrates the
continued acceptance of our broad portfolio of product and services that are
available under Networx,” said
Government Solutions. “By leveraging our secure telecommunications services,
our program management expertise, and our professional services capabilities,
we will help federal agencies enhance their network security infrastructures
under the Networx Universal MTIPS modification.”
“MTIPS provides a foundation for evolution of the TIC requirement to
secure the federal government IT infrastructure, and a baseline to support
initiatives from the incoming Obama Administration,” said
Executive Director, Networx Program Office, AT&T Government Solutions. “AT&T
Government Solutions can continue its long-standing success of providing
industry-leading IT and network-enabled solutions to the federal government.”
MTIPS combines new secure IP services offerings with existing Networx
security services such as Intrusion Detection Services, Intrusion Protection
Services, Incident Response, Managed Firewall Services, Vulnerability
Scanning, Anti-virus Management, and Managed e-Authentication. Agencies can
immediately begin working with AT&T Government Solutions to define their
respective MTIPS solutions.
