On Sept. 5, the U.S. Department of Justice announced its settlement with Verizon Business Network Services LLC, a Verizon Communications Inc. subsidiary, in which Verizon agreed to pay $4.1 million to settle certain False Claims Act allegations related to cybersecurity.
The settlement resolves allegations that Verizon's Managed Trust Internet Protocol Service, or MTIPS, which was designed to provide federal agencies with secure connections to public internet and other networks, did not satisfy certain cybersecurity controls related to contracts with the U.S. General Services Administration from 2017 to 2021.
