Securing Data In Motion: Working at the Speed of the Mission

Everyday user experiences are being completely reimagined. Requesting a ride through an app is better than calling a cab. Buying online is changing the way we go shopping. And gone are the days of waiting in long lines at your local bank. Data within these modern businesses is in constant motion, flowing, in real-time, across systems, environments, and applications every time a user interacts with the system.

Automating Orchestration for Machine-Speed Cyber Defense

Military operations in the cyber and physical domains are often paralleled to provide a better understanding of the employment and effects of cyber capabilities. There are several similarities between the two domains, including the need for command and control (C2) of resources, situational awareness of the environment, and planning and preparation of the battlefield, to name a few. There are also substantial differences between them, two of which include our control of the domain and the inherent timescale within it.

Operationalizing a Zero Trust Architecture

The National Institute of Standards (NIST) first published the Risk Management Framework (RMF) in February of 2010 as a way to provide information security to operational systems. The US Government (USG) has since heavily relied upon the RMF and requires the application of the RMF to use a system operationally. While RMF has been modified and improved since its first publication, it still provides a basic or compliance-based set of criteria that improve the security posture of a mission critical system or application.

Enabling Continuous Modernization for Army Software Systems

Continuous Modernization is an Army-wide endeavor, requiring Army-wide coordination, to continually provide rapid delivery of enhanced capabilities to soldiers. The Army recognizes that industrial age, serial processes cannot keep up with ever-changing missions, operating systems, hardware, communications protocols, networks, message formats, cyber threats, vulnerabilities, data sources and formats.1 Therefore, the Army and the Joint Force must continue the shift from Industrial to Information Age approaches to modernization to accelerate the acquisition of mission software and systems.

Netskope for Zero Trust

Most security architectures in place across federal agencies today were engineered for a technology ecosystem that has significantly changed over the last two decades. And while the pandemic served as a forcing function, causing many federal organizations to come to terms with the shortcomings of their tooling, practices, and approach to security, one could argue that the limitations of legacy (i.e., vulnerable) technology solutions were just as debilitating over the last 20+ years as the pandemic was disruptive over the last 18+ months.
