DISA is looking for vendors to build a cloud-based system that allows employees to access the internet while isolating their online actions from the Defense Department’s internal networks. The contract, valued at roughly $27.5 million, would “provide defense against a variety of attacks that exploit Department of Defense networks and compromise end clients,” the Pentagon said in a post on FedBizOpps.

Proposed systems would redirect web browsing to remote servers located in federal data centers and support all approved agency browsers and authentication tools. It must be equipped to handle more than 3.1 million users at any given time and offer a secure way to log each users’ online activity and transmit that data back to the agency.

The internet isolation effort comes as the most recent attempt to batten down the hatches on the department’s cybersecurity.
