The NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCI Agency) is currently working with security services to upgrade its security systems. To complete the last phase of the project, he called on the services of Atos Convergence Creators. A contract worth 1.2 million euros was awarded to the company to install and configure cybersecurity systems at 22 sites.
A contract for Atos to finalize the updating of security systems
Once again, NATO asked Atos to support it and finalize its upgrade project. As part of the Capability Package (CP) 120 program, aimed at updating its cybersecurity center, the Alliance has awarded a 1.2 million contract to the company specializing in resilience and critical resources.

According to NATO’s press release, Atos’ mission will focus on upgrading NIPS (Network Intrusion Protection/Detection System), and FPC (Full Packet Capture). The group will be responsible for replacing the functionality of both systems across the NATO computing environment.

NIPS and FPC functionality will enable NATO networks to search for threats and report critical vulnerabilities. ” This upgrade of our systems represents a major step in ensuring our ability to defend and protect NATO networks. Experts will begin deployment to the Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe site in September, then split into three different teams to meet tight deadlines for full deployment in October explains Miles Knight, Senior Project Manager at the NCI Agency.
” Coordinate the deployment to the 22 NATO sites in such a short period [premier trimestre 2023] is a challenge, but we seriously planned the project. We will also build on lessons learned from the implementation of previous projects under the CP120 program adds Fred Jordan, Head of Cyber Security Program Delivery at the NCI Agency.
