Comply to Connect
Implement controlling countermeasures to safeguard your information systems

"Comply-to-Connect (C2C) is a comprehensive cybersecurity framework of tools and technologies designed to increase cybersecurity efficiency across The Department of Defense’s (DoD) current and emerging operational environments. The desired effect enables ongoing insight into the state of local operating compliance with DoD CIO security policies and U.S. Cyber Command operational security orders.

C2C emphasizes the use of synchronized orchestration to reduce labor-intensive cybersecurity efforts and increase operational cybersecurity efficiency. C2C augments the effectiveness of the Department’s Information Security Continuous Monitoring program by reporting on the state of asset security compliance as a condition of remaining connected to the network.

Understanding Comply-to-Connect (C2C)
And U.S. Department of Defense requirements

"Today’s DoD networks make up the core of the command and control infrastructure that provides our nation’s defenders access to the mission-critical services they need to maintain operations and complete their missions. They must also provide access to users from anywhere in the world while supporting various access methods via wired, wireless, and VPN.

As a result, the traditional network perimeter has expanded beyond the standard top-level-architecture (TLA) that we are used to, with no single product able to defend against vulnerabilities and attacks. These networks must be secured using an architecture approach. A C2C solution should be the foundation on which a solid security architecture and posture is built on."

Next Gen Collaboration for DoD
And the move away from TDM Based Telephony

"On today’s battlefield, our forces may face an undetermined threat; one that requires a dynamic response coordinated seamlessly across many different organizations. These threats will continue to evolve. So will the need for innovative technologies to confront them, including real-time video and information sharing solutions. But we must be able to quickly and fully integrate them into existing network infrastructure.

Connecting the battlefield with real-time communications solutions, especially video, is becoming a critical part of our military’s success. For it is on the battlefield that the lives of our military personnel can change in a flash. So for them, there is great comfort and reassurance in communicating face-to-face when making potentially life-changing decisions."
