The Deployable Cyber Defense System (DCDS) is a mobile cyber defense solution that is DoD compliant and addresses both
DISA STIG and 8500.2 security controls by incorporating various network boundary protection mechanisms. Specifically, the DCDS contains a layer 7 commercial firewall, network-based intrusion detection systems (IDS), and commercial-grade routing/switching devices. Additionally, the DCDS is equipped with the Active Response Manager (ARM) that supports operational management of the security event data from the DCDS security mechanisms. The combination of these capabilities not only provides a rapidly deployable and hardened network boundary protection system, but also supports network survivability and resilience by implementing interactive and automated (policy-based) responses to cyber attacks on non-human timescales.
