HOST BASED SECURITY SYSTEM (HBSS)

Abstract

The HBSS is a flexible, commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS)-based application which monitors, detects, and counters against known cyber-threats to the DoD Enterprise, using an intrusion prevention system and host firewall. The Joint Task Force Global Network Operations (JTF-GNO) mandates McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO), an enterprise-class, open architecture client server system, to centrally manage security; the ePO server architecture will be implemented at the Enterprise and Tactical levels. PEO C3T will test, train, deploy, and set conditions to maintain the HBSS software suite on all Mission Command Networks and Systems (MCNS), where the Army is the executive agent on NIPR, SIPR and CX-I. PEO C3T will manage the funding for tactical implementation of HBSS for the Army's Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) systems. C4ISR systems requiring HBSS implementation are owned by five Army PEOs and two Joint PEOs. Within PEO C3T, Project Manager Warfighter Information Network-Tactical (PM WIN-T) is leading the procurement effort on the ePO servers and virtual client installation
