PURPOSE

This is a Request for Information for the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) Defensive Cyber Systems Branch (HNCD). The purpose of this RFI is to conduct market research to identify commercial sources capable of providing a Next-Generation, Vendor-Agnostic Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) software solution.
