Book excerpt: The Department of Defense's (DoD) policy, planning, and warfighting capabilities are heavily dependent on the information technology foundation provided by the Global Information Grid (GIG). However, the GIG was built for business efficiency instead of mission assurance against sophisticated adversaries who have demonstrated intent and proven their ability to use cyberspace as a tool for espionage and the criminal theft of data. GIG mission assurance works to ensure the DoD is able to accomplish its critical missions when networks, services, or information are unavailable, degraded, or distrusted. This article explores current threats to the GIG and outlines the solutions that the DoD has developed to protect its networks.

This book was released on 2010-04-11 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Owing to the expansion of network-centric operating concepts across the Department of Defense (DOD) and the growing threat to information and cybersecurity from lone actors, groups of like-minded actors, nation-states, and malicious insiders, information assurance is an area of significant and growing importance and concern. Because of the forward positioning of both the Navy's afloat and the Marine Corps expeditionary forces, IA issues for naval forces are exacerbated, and are tightly linked to operational success. Broad-based IA success is viewed by the NRC's Committee on Information Assurance for Network-Centric Naval Forces as providing a central underpinning to the DOD's network-centric operational concept and the Department of the Navy's (DON's) FORCEnet operational vision. Accordingly, this report provides a view and analysis of information assurance in the context of naval 'mission assurance'.

Download or read book Information assurance trends in vulnerabilities threats and technologies written by and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2004 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the missions of the Center for Technology and National Security Policy at National Defense University is to study the transformation of America's military and to explore the consequences of the information revolution. To further this mission, National Defense University, in collaboration with The Center for Public Policy and Private Enterprise of the University of Maryland's School of Public Affairs, brought together leaders in the fields of military and commercial technology. The purpose of the meeting was to gain insight into the risks and vulnerabilities inherent in the use of information technology on the battlefield and in military systems. This volume presents the results of that workshop. This volume examines threats and vulnerabilities in the following four areas: (1) physical attacks on critical information nodes; (2) electromagnetic attacks against ground, airborne, or space-based information assets; (3) cyber attacks against information systems; and (4) attacks and system failures made possible by the increased level of complexity inherent in the multiplicity of advanced systems. Chapters are as follows: "Trends in Vulnerabilities, Threats, and Technologies," by Jacques S. Gansler and William Lucyshyn; "Physical Vulnerabilities of Critical Information Systems," by Robert H. Anderson; "Physical Vulnerabilities Exposed at the National Training Center," by Colonel John D. Rosenberger; "Dealing with Physical Vulnerabilities," by Bruce W. MacDonald; "Vulnerabilities to Electromagnetic Attack of Defense Information Systems," by John M. Borky; "Vulnerabilities to Electromagnetic Attack of the Civil Infrastructure," by Donald C.

Finnegan; "Complexity of Network Centric Warfare," by Stanley B. Alterman; and "Difficulties with Network Centric Warfare," by Charles Perrow.
Download or read book Way to Operationalize the Department of Defense s Critical Infrastructure Protection Program Using Information Assurance Policies and Technologies written by Arthur R. Friedman and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Department of Defense (DoD) Defense Critical Infrastructure Protection Program has recently reorganized under the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Homeland Defense under the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy. Requirements have been set forth in DoDD 3020.ff, Defense Critical Infrastructure, which is in final coordination and is anticipated to be published later this fiscal year. This policy states that Defense Critical Infrastructure and non-DoD infrastructures are essential to planning, mobilizing, deploying, and sustaining military operations within the U.S. as well as globally, shall be available when required. Today's Combatant Commanders do not have the ability to quickly and efficiently share information that identifies critical infrastructure assets and single points of failure to prevent physical or cyber attacks from impairing the Global Information Grid. The intent of this paper is to provide a construct to Operationalize the DoD's Critical Infrastructure Protection Program through the use of Information Assurance policies, methodologies, and technologies, and to identify strategic implications of vulnerabilities to the Combatant Commander and supporting agencies.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the face of growing cyber attacks against Department of Defense (DoD) networks and numerous, varied, and complex information sharing challenges within the DoD Global Information Grid (GIG), the DoD has established a strategic vision to deliver a Joint Information Environment (JIE) that will enable the DoD and its mission partners to securely access information and services they require when they need it, from where they need it, and on the DoD approved device of their choice. The envisioned strategic end-state of this strategy is to enhance mission effectiveness, increase security, and to improve information technology efficiencies through the consolidation of costly network resources and infrastructure throughout the DoD. The JIE will be the key enabler of globally integrated security operations with the DoD's mission partners during the twenty first century. The DoD is faced with three strategic challenges to achieving the desired JIE end state; (1) There is a need for inspirational strategic leadership as an agent for change to champion the JIE effort. (2) Inter-service rivalries and parochialism must be overcome. (3) JIE funding must be a top priority for the DoD during an era of fiscal constraint in the name of national security.

Download or read book Effectiveness of the Department of Defense Information Assurance Accreditation Process written by Joseph Luis Valladares and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many years, the Department of Defense (DoD) has used very formalized processes for authorizing the operation of its information systems. This authorization process, known as accreditation within the DoD, has always been based on certification testing of those systems and an assessment of the risks associated with operating those systems on the DoD's Global Information Grid (GIG). Despite using these various costly and process-intensive methods for certification and accreditation (C&A), it is questionable whether or not these processes have actually improved the security of DoD systems and networks commensurate with the cost and effort involved. Further, given current advances in systems security technologies, recent changes in DoD's strategy for operating in cyberspace, and even the very structure of the DoD's enterprise networks in the near future, should (or even can) the DoD continue to test and authorize information systems using these same methodologies? This paper addresses this question and proposes other ways the DoD can more effectively assess its systems and networks to better ensure their security over time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This chapter discusses the problematic intersection of risk management, mission assurance, security, and information systems through the illustrative example of the United States (US) Department of Defense (DoD). A concise history of systems security engineering (SSE) is provided with emphasis on recent revitalization efforts. Next, a review of established and emerging SSE methods, processes, and tools (MPT) frequently used to assess and manage critical shortfalls in the development and fielding of complex information-centric systems is provided. From this review, a common theme emerges—the need for a holistic multidisciplinary approach that addresses people, processes, and technologies to manage system complexity, while providing cost-effective security solutions through the use of established systems engineering techniques. Multiple cases and scenarios that promote the discovery and shared understanding of security solutions for complex systems by those trained in the art and science of systems engineering, information security, and risk management are demonstrated.

Download or read book Overview of the Department of Defense Net Centric Data Strategy written by and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 3 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Department of Defense's (DoD's) Global Information Grid (GIG) provides the foundation for net-centricity. The GIG is the globally interconnected, end-to-end set of information capabilities, associated processes, and personnel for collecting, processing, storing, disseminating, and managing information on demand to warfighters, defense policy makers, and support personnel. The information capabilities that constitute the GIG include transport, Web-based services, information assurance technologies, applications, data, architectures and standards, and the tools, techniques, and strategies for managing and operating the GIG (e.g., Network Operations [NetOps]). By securely interconnecting people and systems independent of time or location, DoD can achieve substantially improved military situational awareness, better access to information, and dramatically shortened decision cycles. Our warfighters are empowered to more effectively exploit information; more efficiently use resources; and create extended, collaborative communities to focus on the mission.
