Background

N/A

Requirements

The contractor shall provide services to meet the following:

  • Web Content Filtering (WCF) Engineering and Sustainment Support Services.
  • The WCF system was developed to meet requirements from the Joint Task Force—Global Network Operations and Information Assurance/Computer Network Defense Enterprise-wide Solutions Steering Group (IA/CND ESSG) to deploy a capability to scan and block malicious inbound and outbound traffic traversing through the Unclassified but Sensitive Internet Protocol Router Network (NIPRNet), Internet Access Points (IAPs) and the NIPRNet Federated Gateways (NFG).
  • The current WCF system is used to protect the NIPRNet, IAP, and NFG traffic and is comprised of Palo Alto Next Generation firewalls, F5 SSL Orchestrators, Juniper routers, and a Splunk logging system.
  • The WCF system delivers two basic enterprise-wide features:
    • 1) outbound Uniform Resource Locator (URL) filtering on a pre-defined list or a custom generated list created by the DISA Joint Operations Center (DJOC)
    • 2) inbound spyware, malware, anti-virus, and vulnerability filtering on content from Internet servers to the Department of Defense (DoD) clients.
  • WCF reduces the attack surface and increases mission assurance by providing custom and standard URL filtering and content filtering, including antivirus and anti-spyware signatures.
  • WCF ensures delivery of mission critical traffic by providing dynamic rate limiting at the Internet Access Points (IAPs).
  • WCF is deployed at six Contiguous United States (CONUS) sites and four Outside of the Contiguous United States (OCONUS) sites.
  • WCF functionality has evolved since its initial deployment in 2009 from providing WCF for only outbound web-borne requests to the Internet, to providing Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) functionality for both inbound and outbound traffic on all ports.
  • The WCF system includes the capability to inspect Transport Layer Security (TLS)-encrypted web traffic
