The service says it can be customized by managers to meet their individual security needs.
“The software method open code of technology transfer from federal labs to the marketplace is highly effective,” said Linda Burger, director of NSA's Technology Transfer Program.
"The open source community can leverage the NSA project, and the government can benefit from its expertise and experience.visual the further development of the application by the community. It's a win for everyone -.. And for the nation itself"
To use the software, you should use Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.6 or 7.1, or the same versions of CentOS. The software was released with the 2 version of Apache License.
Traffic comes as part of the ongoing technology transfer program of NSA, a program that aims to make the code available at home and its availability in the open source community to enhance security.
