Verizon Business Opens Government Network Operations and Security Center

Verizon Business today opened its new Government Network Operations and Security Center (GNOSC), a state-of-the-art facility dedicated to supporting the unique security and operational requirements of its federal government customers. The center, located in Northern Virginia in 30,000 square feet of space built to government security standards, will support the managed network services Verizon Business provides to nearly every federal government agency from the civilian, intelligence and defense communities.

The center conducts real-time network monitoring of federal government customers’ global network traffic and provides government agencies with a single point of contact to obtain products and services to meet network operations requirements and related security matters. Verizon Business historically has provided leading managed-network services for federal government customers, and the new center enables the company to put both network operations and security operations under one roof. The company will continue to provide managed services at the network operations centers currently in operation.

“Establishing the GNOSC is a cornerstone of our strategy for meeting the federal government’s demands for next-generation networking services,” said Jerry Edgerton, group president for Verizon Federal, the sales organization within Verizon Business dedicated to serving federal government customers. “With this center, we are putting the customer’s physical and systems security first.”
