The Work Performed

Systems Administration

We provided Active Directory services where we manage the identities and relationships that make up network our customer's network environments. Our services include: 1) LDAP-like directory services 2) Kerberos-based authentication and 3) DNS-based naming.

Telophase adhere to policies that cost-effectively reduce information security risks to an acceptable level, and ensure that information security is addressed through the guidelines and polices of FISMA. Additionally, we assisted ADNET in their initial analysis. Collectively, we reviewed three important questions/factors: 1) Are the policies comprehensive enough? 2) Are the policies up-to-date? and 3) Are the policies being effectively delivered.
