SAA added that the contractor shall assess and improve the Senate's ability to hunt down threats on its networks, Fifth Domain reported.
The vendor shall also perform a cybersecurity resiliency test focused on the ability to "identify, protect, detect, react and recover from the advanced cyber threat."
