AFCEA Augusta-Fort Gordon Chapter Course 4: Trusted Smartphone Use Across Department of Defense (DoD)
Monday, August 15, 2022: 2:30 PM - 3:30 PM
Speaker(s)
Description
The modern mobile smartphone revolutionizes the way life and business is conducted around the world. Smartphones are the largest source of compute minutes in the world, outpacing desktops and laptops.
The DoD will only benefit if smartphone use can be embraced. Any delay in the speed of decision making is a risk to National Security. Not being able to see and respond to information in seconds puts key leaders and operators at risk every day. Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines suffer degraded mission effectiveness and morale as smartphones continued to be banned and as DoD continues to invest in legacy desktop phones, desktop computers, and wired laptops versus enabling the use of the smartphones they have grown up carrying.
The annual investment in legacy compute solutions is in the $billions of dollars by DoD. The investment in modern mobile solutions is stalled as the DoD struggles with the managing the risks. Today, smartphones are a risk and it easier to just say no. There is also a blind eye being turned to the 24/7 risk introduced by those that continue to use unprotected smartphones for work. Smartphones are espionage tools designed to be carried 24/7, listen, take pictures, and track your location. It’s easier to ban their use. It is easier to just say the risk is acceptable.
Today, trusted smartphone use is possible with physical sensor control. Physically controlling the cameras, microphones, and physically verifying use of trusted networks eliminates the threat. This approach was recommended by the National Telecommunications Security Working Group, the group of technical surveillance countermeasures professionals who recommended the complete ban on mobile devices near National Security Systems and inside classified spaces where classified matter is present. The recommended approach to for trusted smartphone use does require physical controls.
This presentation details how these physical controls are possible, and how very sensitive government agencies have tested the solution, are investing in the modern mobile wireless infrastructure, and the necessary enhancements needed for trusted mobile device use. The cost benefits will be shared as these sensitive government organizations embrace the revolution of trusted smartphone use.
