Press Releases

ANDOVER, Mass., Aug. 07, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mercury Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: MRCY, www.mrcy.com) announced it's first annual data at rest (DAR) technology forum for the Commercial Solutions for Classified (CSfC) program with participation from the National Security Agency (NSA). The event, scheduled for October 2, 2018 in Baltimore, Md., assembles the DAR ecosystem of customers, component suppliers and Trusted Integrators to share best practices for cost-effective, rapidly deployed CSfC programs.

Developed by the NSA and the Central Security Service (CSS) as an alternative to costly Type 1 cryptography solutions, the CSfC program protects highly sensitive data by implementing two compliant commercial security components in layers, thus eliminating the likelihood that a vulnerability will be exploited in both simultaneously. Additional details on the CSfC program are available on the NSA website, located at www.nsa.gov/resources/everyone/csfc.

“For the first time in the history of the CSfC program, the entire DAR ecosystem will collaborate in a single forum to address data at rest security challenges faced by our government agencies and our warfighters across the world,” said Iain Mackie, Vice President and General Manager of Mercury’s Microelectronics Secure Solutions group. “Having pioneered the first and only hardware full disk encryption devices for the DAR capability package, Mercury is honored to take a leadership role by facilitating these critical discussions.”

Greg Scasny, Chief Technology Officer of Cigent Technology, will deliver the keynote address on the topic of emerging cyber threats and mitigation techniques. The event includes other speakers from the NSA, TribalCo, KeyPair Consulting, and Mercury Systems on the following topics:

• Introduction to the CSfC program
• Case studies on the two-layer solution process for data at rest
• Data at rest capability package updates
• Mitigations and deployments in the quantum era
