Why Cybersecurity
The growth of the Cyber threat to the Armed Forces mandates that the cybersecurity and tactical network management efforts for Program Executive Offices and Major Army Commands continue without interruption. JTSi cybersecurity experts have strong Quals tackling the constantly emerging Cyber requirements for data communication including network interface, virtualization, threat detection and network management.
As with any technological advance throughout history, whenever new opportunities are created, there will always be those that exploit them for their own gain. That’s why cybersecurity is such a vital part of a secure and well-ordered digital world. Cybersecurity is the protection of data and systems within networks that are connected to the internet, including.
- Information Security
- Information technology disaster recovery
- Information privacy
Cybersecurity helps prevent data breaches, identity theft and ransomware attacks, as well as aiding in risk management.
When an organization has a strong sense of network security and an effective incident response plan, it is better able to prevent and mitigate cyberattacks. The process of keeping up with new technologies, security trends and threat intelligence is a challenging task.
Application Security
Application security includes all tasks connected with a secure software development life cycle (SDLC) undertaken by development teams. The goal is to prevent data or code within the app from being compromised and improve security practices and, through that, find, fix and preferably prevent security issues within applications.
Business-critical applications are critical to every enterprise, and they are constantly evolving. Mobile and cloud computing are radically changing the way we do business. With our application security services, JTSi assists companies in detecting, fixing, and preventing security vulnerabilities in nearly every type of software application.
Disaster recovery
In today’s world, applications play a crucial role, as many businesses and users rely on a wide range of applications for work, education, entertainment, retail, and more. The development teams at JTSi are playing a crucial role in ensuring that applications are designed to provide users with great usability and performance, as well as protection against threat actors who are constantly looking for weaknesses, vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and other security holes that they can exploit to conduct malicious activities.
Organizations have become increasingly vulnerable to security risks as they have rushed applications onto the market in order to maintain business and revenue-generating processes.
JTSi’s developers perform application security testing as part of the software development process to ensure that a new or updated version of a software application is free of vulnerabilities. With our security audits, we ensure the application meets a specific set of security requirements. Our developers ensure only authorized users can access the application after it has passed the audit. Our developers perform penetration tests to modify applications as if they were cybercriminals, looking for ways for them to break in. A penetration test may also include social engineering tests that attempt to fool users into enabling unauthorized access.
Authentication
In software development, procedures are built into applications to prevent unauthorized access. A user’s identity is verified through authentication procedures. Logging in to an application can be done by requesting a username and password before allowing access. A multi-factor authentication system uses more than one method of authentication, such as something you know – a password, something you have – a mobile device, and something you are – a thumbprint or facial recognition.
Authorization
User authentication allows a user to access and use an application. By comparing the user’s id with a list of authorized users, the system can verify if the user has permission to access the application. Authentication must precede authorization in order for the application to match only validated user credentials to the list of authorized users.
Encryption
Once a user has been authenticated and is logged in, additional security measures can prevent sensitive data from being exposed or used by cybercriminals. Cloud-based applications, in which sensitive data is transmitted between the end user and the cloud, can be encrypted to ensure privacy.
Logging
Logging can be used to determine who accessed data and how, in the case of a security breach. The log files for an application record which aspects of the application have been accessed by whom and when.
Application security testing
By identifying security weaknesses and vulnerabilities in source code, application security testing helps make applications more resistant to security threats. This helps keep applications protected, while giving feedback on how to eliminate further risk.
Information Security
Information Security services from JTSi help companies reduce risks of cyber-attacks against their information technology systems, prevent unauthorized access to sensitive data, prevent service disruption due to denial-of-service attacks, and a host of other services.

In partnership with numerous technology providers, JTSi offers government agencies proven, cost-effective protection for systems, networks, and assets. We offer all of these solutions as part of our GSA schedule and other contracts.
Cryptography
Cryptography covers a range of techniques for communicating in a secure manner. Cryptography and encryption are becoming increasingly important as organizations store, edit, and transmit sensitive information online. You can use encryption to protect the confidentiality and integrity of your data while in transit and at rest and digital signatures to validate the authenticity of your data. Examples of cryptography include blockchains and the advanced encryption standard (AES). A blockchain is a ledger of records or blocks that helps secure, among other things, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. AES is a symmetric key algorithm used by the US government to protect classified information.
Infrastructure Security
Traditional security perimeters protecting digital infrastructures are becoming blurred. As organizations take advantage of information technology and the internet, critical infrastructures like data centers, internal and external networks, servers, desktops, and mobile devices have become highly interconnected. This makes them vulnerable to threats like sabotage by a disgruntled employee or cyber terrorist groups, information warfare waged by private profiteers or rival countries, and natural disasters like earthquakes or hurricanes that can damage physical structures.
Information Assurance
Information assurance has a broader, more strategic focus, encompassing not just security but the processing and analysis of both digital and non-digital data and the protection of information systems.
JTSi approach to Information Assurance:
- By utilizing an offensive security mindset, JTSi experts help organisations of all sizes to defend against the latest attacks
- JTSi experts can help your organization achieve compliance with the latest regulations and standards including : PCI DSS, DPA 2018, NIS Directive, GDPR, SWIFT CSP
Disaster recovery
Disaster recovery is an area of security planning that aims to protect an organization from the effects of significant negative events. Disaster recovery planning maintain or quickly resume mission-critical functions following a disaster. Dangers to delicate and private data come in a wide range of structures, for example, malware and phishing assaults, wholesale fraud and ransomware. To prevent aggressors and relieve vulnerabilities at different focuses, numerous security controls are executed and facilitated as a major aspect of a layered resistance top to increasing vulnerabilities to security threats and breaches.
There is increasing pressure and incentive to not only ensure security at the network level but also within applications themselves. One reason for this is because hackers are going after apps with their attacks more today than in the past. Application security testing can reveal weaknesses at the application level, helping to prevent these attacks. Different types of application security features include authentication, authorization, encryption, logging, and application security testing. Developers can also code applications to reduce security vulnerabilities.
Our developers ensure only authorized users can access the application after it has passed the audit. Our developers perform penetration tests to modify applications as if they were cybercriminals, looking for ways for them to break in. A penetration test may also include social engineering tests that attempt to fool users into enabling unauthorized access.
Network Security
Network security helps to detect, prevent and respond to threats through the use of security policies, software tools and IT services. Effective network security targets a variety of threats and stops them from entering or spreading on the network.
Access Control
Access to your network can be blocked by unauthorized users and devices. Only those users who have been granted network access should be able to work with the resources for which they have been authorized.
Anti-malware
Viruses, worms, and trojans, by definition, are designed to spread across a network, and they can remain dormant on infected machines for days or weeks. It is vital that your security system prevents infections from happening in the first place and finds any malware that does find its way onto your network.
Application security
Applications containing security flaws are often used by attackers in order to access your network. We use the latest computing technologies in hardware, software, and security to protect those apps.
Email security
Phishing is one of the most popular ways attackers gain access to a network. Incoming as well as outgoing messages with sensitive information can be blocked through email security tools.
Firewalls
The most widely used type of network security, it follows your rules to allow or deny traffic between your network and the Internet, establishing a barrier between your internal network and the rest of the Internet. Even though they don’t eliminate the need for a defence-in-depth strategy, they can’t be ignored.
Industry Detection and prevention
Detection and prevention of attacks are achieved by scanning network traffic and comparing activity signatures with databases of known attacks.
Mobile devices and wireless security
As with any networked device, wireless devices can be vulnerable to security flaws, but they can also connect to just about any wireless network anywhere, necessitating extra scrutiny.
Network Segmentation
A software-defined segmentation system categorizes traffic according to different classifications to make security policies easier to enforce.
