DISA project aims to enhance cybersecurity by isolating warfigters’ internet browsing to a cloud platform

By Light Professional IT Services, LLC will support of the Department of Defense’s Cloud Based Internet Isolation program under a new $199 million contract signed with the Defense Information Systems Agency, DISA announced. 

Transaction authority contract moves non-mission-essential internet browsing off of the endpoint to a cloud-based environment. By doing so, it significantly reduces the risk and attack surface of the Department of Defense Information Networks and relieves congestion at the internet access points, according to DISA. 

The OTA has a one-year base period with four one-year option periods.

This partnership will provide direct support to warfighters by providing cybersecurity within the cloud while protecting the warfighter’s electronic devices from exposure to direct threats. 

The enhanced capability transfers internet browsing sessions from the traditional desktop browser to a secure, isolated cloud platform. This service isolates potential malicious code and content within the cloud platform, separating the threat from direct connections to DoD networks.
