CENTS^TM Has Arrived

San Antonio, Texas - EADS NA Defense Security and Systems Solutions, today announces the release of our CENTS™ virtual network and operations emulation and training products for the commercial, federal, and military environments. EADS NA Defense Security and Systems Solutions is expanding its simulator line, previously focused primarily on crew training to now providing simulators for individual training with research and development efforts in the works to provide simulators for test and evaluation efforts. CENTS^TM simulators will provide customers with the capability to conduct a wide array of Computer Network Operations (CNO) in a simulated environment.

Johnnie Hernandez, president and CEO quoted from recent presentations, "This is an exciting development for our company and the many information technology professionals that will benefit from the capabilities our CENTS^TM product line can provide”.

In December, EADS NA Defense Security and Systems Solutions, Inc. announced the availability of its Cybersecurity Network Training Simulator (CYNTRS) to compliment its previously available Range End Unit (REU) which has been in use by the Air Force since 2002. The REU and CYNTRS focus on providing Computer Network Defense (CND) training to a team or crew at one time. EADS NA Defense Security and Systems Solutions’ latest product in the training arena is HOTSIM, the Hands-On Training Simulator. HOTSIM brings all the capabilities of an REU or CYNTRS, but has a smaller footprint and centralized management system. HOTSIM has been designed to augment network operations/management/defense curriculum with a hands-on training environment that permits each student to configure or defend the network and understand how all tools and applications in a network collaborate together.

With the stand-up of its Research and Development Center, EADS NA Defense Security and Systems Solutions plans to produce a full line of simulation products and services that utilize an integrated solution of hardware, software, and proprietary source code. Simulators that are built with a primary purpose of supporting test and research environments are at the top of the R&D Center’s to-do list. Our first effort is a simulator to support Test & Evaluation (T&E). The T&E simulator is being designed to support common testing requirements such as Security, Test, and Evaluation, Vulnerability Assessments, Verification and Validation. EADS NA Defense Security and Systems Solutions further plans to expand the T&E simulator capabilities for computer network attack/ computer network exploitation (CANE) and computer forensics, as well modeling and simulation and research and development efforts. Also on the drawing board is an IPv6 simulator (SIXS) being designed to assist in developing and validating IPv6 transition plans, determining the impact of IPv6 on current systems, identifying impacts of running in a dual-stack environment, as well as training individuals and network crews on how to actually execute the transition.

Each simulator's environment is built to the customer's specification providing students, operators, and testers with a simulated environment mirroring what they are used to working with on a daily basis. For the training simulators, each product has unique capabilities and an option to provide on site training and continuing education by an experienced DS3 staff member. The training scenarios can be tailored to organizational needs and can be automated to provide repeatable events. Scenarios are based on past, current and evolving threats your company personnel face everyday in the protection of your corporate assets. After a scenario terminates, each person is assisted in evaluating their performance in preparation for the next training session, thereby enhancing your IT professionals’ abilities to better manage daily operations and protect your enterprise network.
