Essentials

Communications Security (COMSEC) is the practice of preventing unauthorized interception/access of telecommunications traffic to its intended source. Within COMSEC there are several disciplines including:

• Cryptographic Security
• Emission Security
• Physical Security
• Traffic-flow security
• Transmission security
• Electronic Key Management System

Benefits

Without securing communications systems and traffic that flows on those systems, organizations will find information may be leaking out. Should organizations be providing classified services, there are requirements that must be followed, such as Electronic Key Management System (EKMS) developed by the NSA to supply electronic keys around the encryption of the COMSEC devices. Each agency within the DoD or operating in the classified space have processes that follow EKMS.

Expertise

SecureState’s COMSEC Managers will be ready to work from the first day. Our team’s COMSEC Managers are NSA-trained with extensive experience in managing COMSEC accounts; and will comply with all COMSEC custodian and managerial duties. We currently maintain our own NSA COMSEC account to support multiple contracts. Additionally, SecureState uses this experience to ensure all of our COMSEC managers are fully trained and kept abreast of changing requirements, new systems, and technologies.
