"As the White House pushes to intensify internal leak investigations, Immigration and Customs Enforcement is quietly renewing a cybersecurity contract that governs how employee activity on agency systems is monitored, recorded, and preserved for investigation. The operation, known as Cyber Defense and Intelligence Support Services, is presented as a routine security effort focused on network monitoring, incident response, and basic security hygiene."
"Records show ICE is moving ahead with a recompete-the process of reissuing and renewing a major federal contract-as Department of Homeland Security leadership expands leak investigations and steps up monitoring of how employees use agency systems. Contract documents outline methods for maintaining comprehensive records of digital activity and using automated tools to flag patterns and anomalies, while more closely linking cybersecurity operations with ICE investigative offices to speed the use of that data in internal casework."
Immigration and Customs Enforcement is renewing the Cyber Defense and Intelligence Support Services contract to enhance network monitoring, incident response, and security hygiene. The contract expands collection of digital logs and device data for internal investigations and law enforcement use. It outlines maintaining comprehensive records of digital activity and using automated tools to flag patterns and anomalies. The operation stores and organizes data so incidents can be reconstructed step by step for security reviews or formal investigations. Cyber findings are to be shared with investigative and oversight units, including Homeland Security Investigations and the Office of Professional Responsibility.
