Endpoint Security Solutions

DISA has recently “rebranded” HBSS (Host-Based Security System) into a new suite, Endpoint Security Solutions (ESS), which adds new capabilities on top of the existing HBSS commercial, off-the-shelf (COTS) Endpoint Security software that the Department of Defense uses to monitor, detect, and defend IT assets and systems.  Like HBSS, McAfee developed this system using the ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) management engine.

Endpoint Security is a multi-point product designed to meet known intrusion points, discover gaps, and reduce the likelihood of unauthorized device and network access.

Leading point products include:

»  Endpoint Security (ENS) 

»  Asset Publishing Service (APS)

»  Asset Configuration Compliance Module (ACCM)

»  Data Loss Prevention (DLP)

»  Policy Auditor (PA)

»  Rogue System Detection (RSD)

»  Threat Intelligence Exchange TIE/Data Exchange Layer (DXL)

»  Trellix (formerly McAfee)

ESS

Protecting Your Network

At the Endpoint Security Solutions center is a data monitoring, analytics, and protection capability that provides administrators and select teams access to real-time asset status and reports, plus centralized configuration and management tools that enable your organization to react quickly.

The Endpoint Security suite of products is designed to actively protect your network assets from theft, manipulation, or loss from internal or external threats. The centrally-managed server allows staff to deploy, update, configure, and manage the suite of products remotely and discreetly across your network.

ESS SUPPORT

Our Expertise

ESS support is a core requirement for any SIPRNet environment, and to maintain a passing grade for your CCRI. ESS is a powerful tool that significantly reduces risk and protects core assets by safeguarding network assets. However, managing this tool and/or integrating the new FRAGO 6 requirements can be complex and costly.

As one of the countries leading cyber security companies, our team of experts work side-by-side with a variety of agencies that utilize Endpoint Security and its many components. We design our efforts to identify risks that ESS can mitigate or detect, and help you determine the best implementation policies and plans to maintain the delicate balance of maintaining a secure network while maximizing daily organization operations. We also provide on-the-job ESS training that will make your staff members subject matter experts for this enterprise tool.

Together, we can build a strategy that optimizes your assets, budget, and personnel to employ Endpoint Security in a way that gives you today’s leading cyber threat protections on your most prolific devices. Collectively, our team has many of the foremost certifications in the industry.

Our team can help you make sure that you are compliant with DISA OPORD 16-0080 for Endpoint Security (effective January 9, 2017) and FRAGO 6 (effective September 30, 2021).
