cybersecurityThe Department of Homeland Security plans to purchase between $10.8 million and $11.6 million on cyber tools and sensors for DHS to handle the accounts of its employees, Federal News Radio reported Monday.

Jason Miller writes DHS and the General Services Administration is currently accepting proposals through March 30 from the 17 companies that hold prime positions on the department’s Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation vehicle.

Vendors will be required to develop and maintain a master user record and manage CDM-related attributes in an effort to address identity, credential and access management issues, according to the report.

DHS will use the tools to handle people-based access, security-related behavior, authentication and account privileges, the station reports.

Miller writes the department also is seeking industry ideas on the next phase of the CDM program to control access privileges and remove unauthorized network access.

DHS wants devices that are designed to regulate network traffic flow at a boundary and encryption tools to protect transmission of data, Federal News Radio reports.
