ANY OFFEROR PROVIDING AN OR EQUAL PRODUCT SHOULD DESCRIBE THOROUGHLY HOW THEIR PRODUCT MEETS ALL THE CHARACTERISTICS LISTED BELOW. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL MAKE THAT OFFEROR NON-RESPONSIVE AND WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED FOR AWARD. Attached is a description of the requirement and license necessary. USSOCOM requires the ability to view network security status across the entire USSOCOM IT infrastructure from one place in real time. Need to be able to search, report, monitor, and analyze streaming and historical data from any source. The tool will be used to centralize USSOCOM security logs and monitor security events in support of USSOCOM Enterprise network defense-in-depth requirements as directed by CJCSI 6510.01D, Information Assurance and Computer Network Defense (CND), and support the Warfighter in Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO). USSOCOM must be able to correlate security events from multiple IA devices producing a consolidated listing using a common taxonomy to describe events. Must be able to conduct centralized security operations viewing events to and from multiple worldwide locations allowing an analysis of data transported or residing on our Enterprise networks. Software must provide USSOCOM the capability to monitor, investigate, remediate and protect all networks against malicious intrusion, security incidents and cyber attacks and augment or enable traditional methods of warfare. The solution must include the ability to troubleshoot application problems and investigate security incidents in minutes (instead of hours or days) and be able to monitor to avoid service degradation or outages. Must be able to search billions of events in seconds on a single commodity server. As daily volumes and data sources grow, the solution must scale to allow searching and indexing of all collected log information. The solution must also include automatic load balancing to optimize workloads and response times and must provide redundancy and built-in failover support. There is also a requirement to be able to use a SAN or other storage device to store this log data from this collection point to meet long term storage needs. There is a requirement to indexes any kind of IT data from any source in real time. The solution should allow indexing of all IT data without the need for any specific parsers or adapters to purchase, write, or maintain. The solution must support a distributed architecture to allow search of multiple deployments within the USSOCOM Enterprise. The solution must include role-based access to allow control of how far a given user's search will span. USSOCOM Component users can see data from regional systems and enterprise-wide users can see data from all datacenters. Every authorized user should be able to view the IT security data that they need; whether for investigations, or reports and dashboards, or analysis to continually improve IT operations and gain valuable business insights. The solution must allow secure connections. Transactions through the selected product must allow secure authentication and the ability to authenticate user activities through a web user interface or command line interface. Must be able to define your own roles for users that limit functionality by user type. These access controls should limit the searches, alerts, reports, and dashboard views. The solution must integrate with external LDAP-compliant directory servers and Active Directory servers to enforce enterprise-wide security policies. Single sign-on integration must also available to enable pass-through authentication of user credentials. Without this service, USSOCOM will not be able to effectively monitor networks used to support OCO. Furthermore, USSOCOM would not have visibility of potential risks and lack the capability to quickly identify and mitigate vulnerabilities that, if accessed by unauthorized personnel or hackers, can be used to initiate loss of services or compromise data. This type of activity will pose additional risks to operational SOF missions worldwide. Proposed solution for USSOCOM must: • Meet the standards of DODI 8500.2, Information Assurance (IA) Implementation. • Provide centralized security logs and monitor security events supporting USSOCOM's Computer Network Defense directed by CJCSI 6510.01D. • Correlate security events from USSOCOM's current multiple Information Assurance (IA) devices to provide a dashboard picture. • Be interoperable with USSOCOM's current enterprise network solutions. • Provide scalable event correlation and comprehensive trend analysis. • Provide audit log configuration and integration of auditing files from applications, operating systems and network logs. • Include software maintenance support to remediate and/or fix any deficiency releases needed to eliminate minor problems occurring after a major release; includes all system and security patches as well as required fixes needed to maintain security compliance with DoD standards. • Provide on-call support to assist in recovery and management of data, files and services. • Rapidly and thoroughly identify computer incidents occurring on any and all nodes within USSOCOM's network, regardless of physical or network location; must provide ability to review both unique closed networks and standalone systems. • Verify data files and structure to determine possible compromise. • Provide event correlation needed to investigate and analyze devices running on all standard commercial operating systems. • Provide analysis without disrupting business processes or alerting targets. • Provide technical support to assigned personnel to ensure the continued operations with no lapse in current capability. • Allow analysts and technicians to access multiple files/folders across an array of servers. • Respond to information detection system alerts to verify device(s) compromised. • Be delivered not later than 1 October 2010.
