Enlighten IT Consulting (EITC) won a $3.3 million Cyberstrike contract by the Department of Defense (DoD) to work with industry and government agency partners to work on cyber threat awareness, reporting, and threat elimination for DoD information networks, the company said Monday.
The Cyberstrike capability will protect data from authorized (insider threat) and unauthorized users, ensuring the streamlining and sharing of critical mission data, the company said.
“Cyberstrike is a strategic and groundbreaking win for Enlighten as we continue to take a leading role in cyber security for the Department of Defense and build our book of business,” Shawn Justice, CEO of EITC, said in a statement.
“Cyberstrike represents the first of two prime contracts we were awarded in 2015 and distinguishes Enlighten as an industry leader in the cyber domain,” he added.
The company highlighted that it is “uniquely positioned” to support DoD efforts in its cyber strategy because of subject matter expertise and innovative processes necessary to meet critical national security missions.
EITC is a veteran-owned IT solutions company founded in 2007 and headquartered in Hanover, Md.
