Experience House of Congress – Cyber Security Support Services 2003 to Present

SummarySpearhead the design, implementation and O&M of antivirus, firewall and IPS solutions for more than

12,000 systems across over 460 geographically dispersed locations.

What We DidVariQ was responsible for the design, deployment, and maintenance of the Enterprise Client Security

system. Our team directly managed three product refreshes in four years. Our solution, used in 137 offices and committees, produced 100% voluntary user adoption. We implemented the Antivirus Managed System, which consists of multiple components all integrated seamlessly and providing enhanced security to servers, desktops, and mobile devices. We also implemented Symantec Client Security (SCS) on all desktops, workstations, and mobile devices running Microsoft Windows 2000 and Windows XP operating systems. It further supports antivirus, firewall and IPS on Windows 2000, 2003, XP and Vista workstations and servers, and Apple Macintosh systems.

Impact / BenefitThe managed antivirus (AV) system, designed and operated by VariQ, has been credited with enhancing

the overall security year-over-year, as demonstrated by written testimony to a Committee of the US Congress for FY 2006. The CIO repeatedly demonstrated our project in his quarterly CIO reports to all offices and our well-maintained trending and statistical information has been used since 2004 in written testimony to the Appropriations Committee.

ExperienceFBI – Network Architect Services 2007 to Present SummaryUnder subcontract with Lockheed Martin, provide critical network architect and design of 300,000+ node

network for the FBI Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Program in West Virginia.

What We DidVariQ staff on project are tasked with supporting the transition of multiple networks in the CJIS enterprise

into a Shared Enterprise Network (SEN) environment. This revamping of the entire CJIS/FBI network utilizes numerous technologies and standards that once finished will seamlessly integrate these multiple networks into a single logical entity with shared resources and will allows the continued operation of the CJIS mission. VariQ engineers are responsible with redesigning each individual network inside CJIS that will move over to the individual SEN communities. This includes extensive documentation complete with detailed network drawings, system design plans, transitions plans, etc. All proposed network transitions are made into a virtual network modeler called OPNET - IT Guru, which virtually models the network then simulates traffic across all nodes and endpoints. This ensures that every change designed gets tested across the virtual network to find any irregularities or issues with the design.

Impact / BenefitsProvide network architect support to consolidate CJIS FBI network. Performed design, review,

implementation tasks for network conversion program from an IPv4 to an IPv6 network. VariQ’s Lead Network Architect led the transition from IP4 to IP6 selecting and implementing appropriate standards for network layers, defining transition approaches/processes/etc, defining network architecture, allocating functions to devices, specifying devices, etc.

NASA – IT Support Services 2008 to Present

SummaryProvide ongoing systems engineering support and staff augmentation services at multiple locations. Specifically completed NCAD project and supported HSPD-12 integration. What We DidVariQ provided technical leadership, engineering, project planning, and execution of NCAD (NASA Consolidation of Active Directory) which collapses all NASA Active Directory Forests and Domains into a single Domain within a single Forest which ultimately supports HSPD-12 Desktop Integration (HDI) related to smart card authentication. This initiative is directly related to providing middleware solutions for desktop integration of Smart Cards on an enterprise level. VariQ provided the engineering solution necessary to complete this requirement.

Impact/BenefitsVariQ has implemented ActivClient 6.1 on approximately 1700 desktop systems which will allow for a common identification standard for federal employees and contractors. The implementation included the initial creation of scripting tools that were ultimately used at others centers throughout the NASA agency to provide for seemingly silent and least intrusive installation efforts which resulted in the least amount of down-time for customers.

HUBZone Priority Ruling• Ability to sole source up to $3.5 Million

• Court of Federal Claims Decision (Mission Critical Solutions) Confirming HUBZone Priority (March 2010). The court's decision, which was unsealed on March 2, stated that agencies now must consider whether companies in a Historically Underutilized Business Zone can compete for a contract before awarding it under another small business program or on a sole-source basis.

• The case boiled down to whether the HUBZone program took precedence over the 8(a) program -- in which businesses are owned by socially or economically disadvantaged individuals. While the service-disabled veteran-owned small business program was not at issue, the court ruled it should be treated the same as the 8(a) program. All three categories are eligible for set-aside small business contracts.
