Thu, May 20, 2010 Applied Signal Technology, Inc. Presents Successful Cyber Demonstration at Spring 2010 Phoenix Challenge Conference
SUNNYVALE, Calif.--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--Applied Signal Technology, Inc. (AST) (NASDAQ:APSG), a market leader in advanced intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) solutions, recently presented a live demonstration of its cyber solutions at the Spring 2010 Phoenix Challenge Conference held at the National Air and Space Intelligence Center (NASIC), Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Dayton, Ohio. The conference theme was Influence through IO: The Interagency and Coalition Imperative.
AST featured its cyber technologies in a unique, end-to-end computer network exploitation/computer network attack (CNE/CNA) demonstration that provided insight into how military information operations can be used to influence perceptions and actions. More than 100 government and industry participants attended the demonstration.
Roger Anderson, Vice President of ASTa�s Network Intelligence Division, commented, aThis was an excellent example of using our CNE expertise to enable a hypothetical real-world influence operation. The demonstration accurately reflected the significant amount of effort required to perform targeted network analysis and preparation prior to executing the detailed influence mission. The scenario illustrated how to exploit the convergence of legacy supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) protocols with industrial networks using internet protocol (IP) technologies. We intend to continue working closely with our customers to help them identify opportunities for implementing their traditional core missions using cyberspace tools.a
