Description
Enabling the Army to become data centric requires a culture shift in how the Army deploys cyber capabilities for its forces. Warfighters must have access to critical data for mission success, while deploying network technology across multiple classification levels, like UNCLASSIFIED/NIPRNet, SECRET/SIPRNet, or TOP-SECRET/JWICS, as well as utilizing large computing and storage capabilities to process data to provide to enable Department leaders. However, successfully operating with agility and within a contested cyber domain requires fully embracing the tenants of zero trust to access applications and data that have moved into the cloud from anywhere across the globe. Zero trust recognizes the shortcomings of network security and instead builds security into the connection through policy decision making and policy enforcement. The correct policy can determine whether a user at an endpoint has the appropriate access permissions, to include security classification of a user, to login to a military application to view or manipulate data. Within the zero trust framework, a critical component is to deliver a secure and protected connection between each end and this is completely independent of the underlying network infrastructure. Fully embracing zero trust, and its focus on securing data, not networks for a data centric Army clears the way to think of a network as just a means of transport, reversing decades of designing, developing, implementing, and operating secure networks at multiple classification levels. The culture shift from network-centricity to data-centricity enables an agile Army to fully integrate ubiquitous public network access with cloud services, and thanks to zero trust that data is secured for mission success.
