DEMONSTRATION THAT THE CONTRACTOR'S UNIQUE QUALIFICATIONS OR NATURE OF THE ACQUISITION REQUIRES THE USE OF THE AUTHORITY CITED ABOVE (APPLICABILITY OF AUTHORITY) Special Operations Command Central (SOCCENT) currently uses McAfee Endpoint Encryption. McAfee uses powerful encryption and strong access control to prevent unauthorized access to your sensitive data and stop its loss. This is imperative to the integrity of Department of Defense systems. Endpoint Encryption offers two forms of encryption to protect data from unauthorized access wherever it is stored or travels: • Full-disk encryption helps ensure that information remains secure when it's stored on desktops, laptops, tablets, and other mobile devices • File and folder encryption lets you control which specific file types and folders are encrypted-and ensure they stay encrypted regardless of where they are saved using Persistent Encryption Technology TM With both encryption types, encryption happens transparently and "on the fly," with virtually no system performance degradation. There's also no user interaction or training required. As a result, you never miss a beat to keep your data protected. When users start up their PCs, they are met with strong two-factor authentication before their computers complete booting. These two factors could be the combination of a password challenge and possession of a smart card or token. Other authentication options are also available. Thanks to single sign-on, once users authenticate, they have unfettered access to the information they need to do their jobs efficiently. Through powerful encryption and strong access control, your data is now protected against unauthorized use. To demonstrate this fact to others and to meet industry and government compliance requirements, Endpoint Encryption also offers extensive auditing and reporting capabilities.
