ECS Wins $528M CISA CDM Data Services Task Order

ECS, an IT systems integrator focused on data and AI, cybersecurity, and enterprise transformation solutions, and an ASGN (NYSE: ASGM) brand, has been named the prime contractor on a six-year, $528M task order with the Department of Homeland Security Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation (CDM) Program Office.

Under the CDM Data Services task order, ECS is tasked with designing, developing, and delivering a solution that will standardize the integration of cybersecurity data coming from separate CDM platforms residing across dozens of Federal Civilian Executive Branch (FCEB) agencies.

The CDM program delivers cyber situational awareness data to federal civilian agencies and summarizes risk exposure across the federal government. By providing unprecedented visibility into cybersecurity data at scale, it improves how incident responders find and remediate threats and vulnerabilities.

To deliver its new data integration solution, ECS will provide CISA’s CDM Program Office with solution engineering, testing, cybersecurity, operations and maintenance, program management, data governance, and training expertise and services.

"ECS is passionate about the CDM mission,” said ECS President John Heneghan. "Over the past five years, we’ve been providing CDM with a modern, effective cyber dashboard. Now we’re thrilled to meet the new challenges posed under Data Services, to not only support the cyber dashboard but also modernize the data integration layer. Real-time access to high-quality data is the best defense against our adversaries, and it’s an honor to continue working with CISA to make operational visibility a reality.”

"This award is the first significant milestone in CISA’s set of next generation CDM contracts and will position the program and the agency to continue our mission of maturing federal network cybersecurity for years to come,” said CISA CDM Program Manager Matthew House. "We are particularly excited that this solution provides modularity, giving our customers unprecedented flexibilities in how their CDM solutions feed the dashboard, while driving standardization that will realize significant cost savings for the program — almost immediately.”

"The CDM Data Services solution for data collection, normalization, and visualization will yield an even higher quality CDM solution and better visibility into data that informs critical cyber operations," said ECS Senior Vice President of Justice and Homeland Solutions Greg Adams.
