SAN ANTONIO, June 07, 2017 -- Alamo City Engineering Services Inc.

Specifically, ACES and its team will provide a fully integrated turnkey ForeScout CounterACT solution. The NACCR solution, when deployed, will be the first physical counter measure supporting USMC’s network defense strategy.

Once implemented, the NACCR solution will bring MCEN into alignment with the requirements defined in the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2017 – Section 1653: Plan for Information Security Continuous Monitoring Capability and Comply-to-Connect Policy; Limitation on Software Licensing.
