Federal contracts and biometric testing: the week in cybersecurity
Federal contract work and independent biometric testing led the week, alongside an expansion of sovereign deployment options for enterprise AI.
Two companies focused on U.S. government work this week. CACI International Inc says the U.S. Air Force awarded it a five-year, $108 million contract to sustain and modernize the Defense Enterprise Accounting and Management System (DEAMS). ShorePoint says it acquired Coalfire Federal contracts, which it says expands its reach across federal civilian, defense, and state and local markets.
DERMALOG Identification Systems issued two releases on third-party validation of its biometrics. The company says independent evaluations by Fime found its face and fingerprint technologies detected all 1,500 tested presentation attacks, and that it qualified for the NIST FastCAP program for contactless fingerprint biometrics. Separately, Omnissa says it is expanding its Sovereign Solution to new global markets, which it says gives organizations more control over where and how their digital workplace is managed.
