Ingalls Secures Major Contract to Bolster USAF Chaplain Corps Cybersecurity

Ingalls partners with USAF to enhance cybersecurity for Chapel Tithes and Offerings Fund software to streamline ATO process and provide ongoing monitoring.

WOODWORTH, LA, UNITED STATES, July 25, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Ingalls Information Security has been awarded a significant contract to enhance the cybersecurity of the United States Air Force Chaplain Corps Chapel Tithes and Offering Fund (CTOF). The CTOF Information System is managed by the Chaplain Corps Accounting Center (CCAC) and administered by the Air Force Installation and Mission Support Center (AFIMSC). This partnership aims to streamline the Authorization to Operate (ATO) process for CTOF's accounting software and implement continuous monitoring.

Ingalls will deliver excellent support services by leveraging its seasoned staff of cybersecurity engineers and consultants. Ingalls’ proven process of streamlining the Risk Management Framework (RMF) through coordination with all stakeholders involved will ensure that all required controls are in place as submitted. This collaboration aims to complete the RMF process and achieve an ATO, and then move on to continuous monitoring.

"We are excited about this partnership with USAF CTOF," said Brandi Pickett, Director of Government Programs at Ingalls Information Security. "Our cybersecurity experts have a proven track record of providing RMF implementation services and assisting clients to obtain an ATO in record time, and we are honored to extend our expertise to support the USAF CTOF mission."

Ingalls understands the unique challenges surrounding the DoD ATO process, and their strategy and advisory services were developed to support the long-term mission to help program managers and other stakeholders start the A&A process and get on the right track. Ingalls uses an agile authorization process that enables faster deployment of systems and applications. This includes generated templates for project plans, CONOPs, schedules, checklists, etc., that help streamline and effectively manage the entire process to ensure deadlines are met.

The contract leverages Ingalls' expertise in DoD cybersecurity solutions, including their innovative Cybersecurity Assurance Readiness (CSAR)/RMF Pro solution, which is designed to expedite the ATO process while ensuring robust security measures are in place.

CSAR/RMF Pro simplifies the path to ATO approval through automation and advising, supporting the Prepare and Categorize System steps of the RMF Framework. CSAR/RMF Pro employs an automation driven modular approach while keeping a human-in-the-loop to actively review applications for accuracy and provide feedback, guiding the user forward to a “mature cyber environment” and on path toward an authorization decision. The entire experience offers refined processes to reduce chance of errors, confusion, and fatigue.
