In the ever-evolving landscape of modern warfare, the window of opportunity to leverage a technological advantage on the battlefield is fleeting, with adversaries constantly innovating and adapting. Delayed procurement processes or protracted evaluation periods can result in the loss of this crucial advantage, potentially compromising national security interests.
Our evaluations go beyond mere tool evaluations; they are a full strategic investment in your organization's security and functionality. By providing unbiased, in-depth analysis and cybersecurity evaluations of commercial tools and datasets, we empower defense agencies to make informed decisions that maximize efficiency, security, and maintain the technical edge over adversaries. In an era where every advantage counts, NTS is your trusted partner in securing the future of our national defense.
APPROACH
Our overall objective is to conduct detailed research and investigation of specified capabilities, tools, data sets or vendors. We focus on the confidence of the capability output while simultaneously analyzing the security posture. We measure performance against the vendor or data owner’s specifications and relevant regulatory requirements. In addition, NTS establishes a weighted set of evaluation factors in collaboration with our clients' designated representatives before subjecting the technology to evaluation methodologies. This customization ensures that an agency's entire set of conditions are satisfied and ranked in accordance with their specific needs.
METHODOLOGY
CORE evaluates vendor data architectures, assesses potential system vulnerabilities, and performs investigative analyses using Tactics, Techniques and Procedures that a user may encounter from an adversary. Vendor engagements and investigative research are critical aspects of our methodology. A combination of automated processes and manual investigative research are utilized to further validate the information vendors provide during an initial engagement, while examining external-facing vendor infrastructure to determine if any foreign presence exists - including servers or services in foreign countries.
PLANS & DELIVERABLES
NTS offers several plans for requesting reports through the CORE portal, all of which provide comprehensive evaluations and custom analysis for the specific client-directed areas predetermined during the initial intake appointment. In addition to the custom CORE reports, our clients receive a Product / Tool Capability Visualization and Redundancy Map.
END STATE
NTS provides a comprehensive, bias-free, and fact-based product to ensure that customers are able to be confident in the vendors, tools, and datasets that they use. Cybersecurity is paramount in the digital age, and CORE provides a framework that completes both initial and maintained analyses of the services that matter. We believe that cybersecurity is a continual process, and therefore CORE develops and changes as our customer’s needs develop.
