SNVC: Safeguarding U.S. Government Networks Against Cyber Threats

“Upgrading our defenses and combating methods against today’s sophisticated cyberattacks and threats is a never-ending process,” says Claire Cuccio, president and CEO, SNVC. “Even though we have advanced and improved security techniques, hackers continue to strengthen their skills and accelerate their efforts to infiltrate our Department of Defense (DoD) networks.”

The situation, necessitates finding newer ways and frameworks to keep patching vulnerabilities existing in the infrastructure to avoid recent attacks, like data theft and ransomware attacks on the DoD, U.S. federal agencies, state governments, healthcare systems, and major universities. Data breaches can impact sensitive personal information, including health billing records and financial or contact information.

SNVC, a women-owned (WOSB), service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB), works with U.S. government agencies to strengthen their security posture to prevent unfortunate cyberattacks. The CEO, Dr. Claire Cuccio, is a 30-year Army veteran who was previously responsible for the security, operations, and maintenance of the communications wide area networks in Southwest Asia and the Pacific Theaters. She has a Doctorate from Virginia Tech in Science and Technology Studies and a Master’s Degree in Cybersecurity from the University of Maryland Global Campus. The company believes operations must be reliable, effective, and secure, irrespective of the network type, in order to ensure the warfighter has a stable, available, and secure network on which to conduct operations.

SNVC excels in program and project management, Cybersecurity, SOC (24x7) operations, network monitoring and defense, risk management framework, data science, and cyber policy and exercise management. It assists clients in contingency planning, cyber security architecture, and critical infrastructure protection. Dr. Cuccio said, “Our employees are the best in the world. They leverage their years of military and government experience and industry security certifications to deliver quality, security, and state of-the-art network operations support sought by military services and government agencies.”

Clients trust SNVC for its infrastructure construction and maintenance and for ensuring secure communication and the smooth flow of secure information. The company supports national security networks reaching U.S. interests around the world and assists the Department of Defense (DOD) with data science and management, helping them analyze the huge volume of data they ingest on a daily basis.

Cyber forensics and analytics and computer security incident response are other domains where SNVC excels. As a Cyber Security Service Provider (CSSP) for a large subset of DoD networks, the team analyzes log files, evidence, and additional information to identify the perpetrators of a system or network intrusion. It evaluates digital evidence and investigates computer security incidents to derive useful information for mitigating vulnerabilities to keep sensitive U.S. government information safe.

SNVC’s experts sit with clients to understand their concerns and run the network operations in accordance with the principles of NIST and U.S. government network standards. SNVC develops cyber exercises to test the security posture of the client’s network and identify any gaps. These scenarios are based on the current state of the cyber security threat landscape and involve the response of a wider community of interest inside the U.S. federal, state, and local governments. This allows SNVC to assist the government in designing relevant security architecture and hardening strategies to patch vulnerabilities, detect attacks, and keep the systems running without any downtime.

The company also helps clients with system certification and accreditation to ensure they properly operate the network by developing and implementing the right set of security controls and protocols to minimize residual risks. Clients rely on SNVC’s highly qualified and certified technicians to support them with information, system, data, and physical security needs. Whether it is disaster recovery and backup, incident response planning, or intrusion detection/prevention systems, the team excels at meeting any need through its ISO-approved process and innovative solutions.

The company’s commitment to excellence has enabled SNVC to serve the nation and its warriors for over two and a half decades, delivering measured service outcomes that consistently exceed their expectations.
