National-Level Cybersecurity Exercise Allows CSC to Demonstrate Preparedness in Responding to Potential Threats, Underscore Commitment to Government Cooperation
FALLS CHURCH, Va.--(http://www.investorideas.com/ defense stocks blog )--CSC (NYSE: CSC) announced its participation in the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) as a full player during Cyber Storm III, the department’s biennial event representing the U.S.’s most extensive cybersecurity exercise.

“CSC has participated in all three of the DHS Cyber Storm exercises, and we are honored to be an active participant and full player as part of the private industry during Cyber Storm III”

.The goal of Cyber Storm is to strengthen cybersecurity preparedness and response capabilities by exercising policies, processes and procedures for identifying and responding to a cyber attack on the U.S.’s critical infrastructure. CSC’s participation is allowing the company to further test its abilities to react appropriately and respond efficiently to potential cyber incidents of varying degrees both for its customers and own internal systems.

“CSC has participated in all three of the DHS Cyber Storm exercises, and we are honored to be an active participant and full player as part of the private industry during Cyber Storm III,” said Andy Purdy, CSC’s chief cybersecurity strategist, who was head of the DHS National Cyber Security Division led Cyber Storm I. “The cyber landscape is dynamic and cybersecurity is a global concern. The efforts put into this exercise and the lessons we will learn from it will continue the process of strengthening the capability of the United States to prepare for and respond to significant cyber attacks and incidents. CSC’s participation internally on a global level also enables us to continue refining our cybersecurity capabilities to the absolute highest levels.
