We have specialized security training in database, applications management, web security, and secure wireless transmissions as well as system login access control and implementation of biometric access control for facilities. Our security experience is applied to all projects we address and often results in our customers identifying and addressing weaknesses that strengthen other areas of their systems.

ITSI Provides Security Support to State and Federal Agencies

ITSI has addressed issues of secure information sharing for geographically distributed agencies for the US Census Bureau and the Maryland Department of Juvenile Justice. Their need for a cost effective, maintainable system that could be expanded to meet future, not as yet defined needs is similar to that of the security needs in many public safety and transportation agencies. ITSI has supported the Maryland Department of Juvenile Justice in defining disaster recovery planning, security analysis and the implementation of information security processes and procedures. ITSI supported the EZPass Electronic Toll Collection System and addressed security and audit issues in the EZPass Violations Processing Center. ITSI has addressed issues of secure information sharing for the US Census Bureau, addressing the requirements of maintaining the security of their existing firewall while implementing system security for information sharing.

ITSI is currently working with the National Institute of Justice, the Howard County Police, and the Maryland National Capital Park Police in the development of biometric authentication for wireless and network transfers of voice, video and text messages. The biometric is used to encrypt the message so tampering is prevented and the decryption of the message at receipt is done using the biometric, establishing conclusively that the message came from the sender. This technology has a critical place in Transportation’s support of Homeland Security, allowing messages to be passed regionally and into the field with confirmation that the message comes from a responsible sender
