Government agencies are increasingly turning to specialized cybersecurity firms to lock down their most sensitive information, and a fresh contract award shows how that trend is playing out in the defense supply chain. Phoenix Data Security Inc., operating as Phoenix Cyber, has secured a task order valued at $3.7 million from the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) to back the agency’s enterprise Data Loss Prevention (DLP), Data Security Posture Management (DSPM), and File Content Analysis (FCA) initiatives.
The work centers on reinforcing DLA’s zero trust data protection framework, with the goal of discovering, classifying, monitoring, and safeguarding sensitive material across the agency’s networks. Under the terms of the award, Phoenix Cyber will provide cybersecurity engineering, analytics, and operational support services aimed at sharpening data protection capabilities, boosting visibility into data risk, and adapting to the agency’s shifting security demands.
“DLA plays a critical role in supporting the nation’s military readiness and global logistics operations,” said Brian Kafenbaum, Founder and Managing Partner of Phoenix Cyber. “We are proud to continue our partnership with DLA and help advance its mission through innovative data protection and cybersecurity solutions.”
This marks a significant milestone for the company, which has supported DLA for over a decade. It is Phoenix Cyber’s second task order prime contract win with the agency. The selection process was competitive, with eight offers submitted in total; Phoenix Cyber’s proposal ultimately was judged to deliver the best value to the government.
The task order falls under the DLA JETS 2.0 contract vehicle, a multiple-award framework intended to supply a wide array of information technology services and solutions in support of DLA’s worldwide operations.
