10/31/2011 - NESCO now has a seat at the National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center (NCCIC). We have signed a formal Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with the Depart ment of Homeland Security (DHS). Under this CRADA, the two entities will participate in information exchange relating to industry issues and will cooperate in getting relevant and actionable security information out to the sector. This agreement also gives NESCO access to the NCCIC. Statements of work are under development with a target completion date of December 31.
