Information Assurance The Bureau of Customs and Border Protection, U.S. Department of Homeland Security On any given day, the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection—one of the oldest law enforcement arms of the U.S. government—performs diverse tasks to ensure homeland security, conduct inspections at ports of entry, regulate international trade, collect import duties, and stem the flow of illegal drugs and contraband into the country.  At this critical time, its priority mission is to prevent terrorists and illegal weapons from entering the United States. To accomplish this mission, Customs has launched a strategic initiative to modernize and protect its crucial information systems, including a vision for enterprise-wide security. CACI is helping Customs realize that vision with comprehensive Information Assurance Services. Supplying expertise gained through managing both national security and commercial networks, CACI is supporting every aspect of Information Assurance at Customs—from developing architecture and policy to incident prevention and monitoring. As a result, the Bureau is able to protect its sensitive unclassified and classified programs from unauthorized access and assure the integrity and availability of its data. Based on its success in enhancing security at Customs, the Information Assurance program has been recognized for best practices in the civilian government. “CACI is teaming with Customs to formulate enterprise  information assurance plans and secure the information  systems that are vital to their success. As a result, they have  the confidence to exchange data and perform their mission  in today’s hostile information environment.” -Roger Baker, Executive Vice President CACI Managed Network Services ANNUAL REPORT 2003 5
