CapRock Expands Information Assurance (IA) and NetOps Capabilities

 

July 27, 2010

 

CapRock Government Solutions announced, a new strategic initiative to strengthen and extend its Information Assurance (IA) portfolio with the addition of key IA resources and expertise within the company. The new strategic focus will address a wide range of growing network threats and security challenges that government and military customers have been forced to contend with in recent years.

 

To assist its government customers in strengthening the confidentiality, integrity, availability and over-arching security posture of their networks, CapRock has hired William Janosky as Director of Information Assurance. A highly respected IA subject matter expert, Janosky has extensive experience with advanced technologies and methodologies to help government agencies counter the growing sophistication of network threats and attacks.

 

Janosky has over twenty years of experience leading IA operations in support of Department of Defense (DoD) leadership including the Army and Navy Chief Information Officers. Previously, Janosky served as IA Manager at FCI, where he provided IA solutions to the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) for commercial satellite provisioning to U.S. Government end-users. He has extensive experience in DoD IA policy, operational strategy and risk mitigation.

 

In his new role, Janosky will be responsible for upgrading and implementing CapRock’s overall IA posture and driving the company toward progressively higher standards of IA compliance. Janosky will also guide the expansion of CapRock’s role in providing DoD-focused IA evaluations and assessments to commercial and government agencies looking to formalize their IA compliance programs. Janosky will report to Vice President of Operations, David Cavossa.

 

“Bill will work closely with our engineering group, program managers, business development team, and our Network Operation Centers to ensure IA and security are properly incorporated into every solution design, and that vendor solutions are properly vetted for lA and security issues,” said Cavossa. In addition to the multiple networks that CapRock manages for its customers across 63 satellites and 4GHz of capacity, the company also has extensive experience in integrating U.S. Defense installations onto DISA’s Global Information Grid (GIG). CapRock’s DoD customers rely on this secure information-sharing environment for access to decision-quality data.

 

“Risk is inherent in all communications solutions. Government and military communications often exhibit a heightened level of risk impact. Our job as their trusted partner is to accurately identify risk and properly apply mitigations in support of secure and reliable operations,” said Janosky.
