Novell Case Study: U.S. Navy Cyber Defense Operations Command

The Navy Cyber Defense Operations Command (NCDOC) is one of several military cyber defense teams in the Department of Defense (DOD) which maintains the largest computer network in the world. Based in Norfolk, Va., NCDOC is responsible for around-the-clock protection of the Navy's computer networks, with more than 700,000 users worldwide. Maintaining the security of U.S. Navy networks is critical to the security of the country. Using Novell Sentinel as part of its PROMETHEUS system, NCDOC has automated and centralized security monitoring across hundreds of diverse locations worldwide. NCDOC personnel now have a real-time, holistic view of all network activities and can prioritize them to focus on what is most critical.
