The implementation is needed to <br />better protect against all attacks from both internal and external <br />threats in keeping with current Federal Homeland Security <br />recommendations. ISD also seeks to acquire an eEye Digital Security <br />software product to test the security networks which connect over 2,500 <br />computer devices.
