The award covers the upgrade of two key cybersecurity systems of NATO’s resilience strategy:

- the full packet capture (FPC) system
Both systems work together so that the NATO Cybersecurity Center, which is part of the NCI Agency, can monitor the organization’s networks for threats and flag major cybersecurity issues.
