In 2007 the United States embarked on a Comprehensive National Cyber Initiative (CNCI). One major component of this program is the Trusted Internet Connection (TIC), specifically designed to improve the security of Federal agency networks. Our client, a large department, was given only three months to complete the tasks of documenting existing network connections across all offices, assessing technical architecture plans and security policies and creating a plan of action with milestones for TIC implementation by the June 2008 deadline.
