SAN ANTONIO, June 07, 2017 -- Alamo City Engineering Services Inc.

The contract has a $27 million ceiling and expires in 2021.
Specifically, ACES and its team will provide a fully integrated turnkey ForeScout CounterACT solution. The NACCR solution, when deployed, will be the first physical counter measure supporting USMC’s network defense strategy.
