How can a contractor identify a Computer Network Defense (CND) Service Provider?
CND services are actions taken, within DoD, to protect, monitor, analyze, detect, and respond to unauthorized activity within DoD information systems and computer networks. CND protection activity employs information assurance principals and includes deliberate actions taken to modify an assurance configuration or a condition in response to a CND alert or threat information. DoD Directive 8530.1 and Instruction 8530.2 deal with the CND Service Provider requirements for all connections on the Global Information Grid (GIG). Government Sponsors are responsible for ensuring their contractors are serviced by a CND Service Provider. In most cases the sponsor assumes CND Service Provider responsibilities.
