How do we create a network that connects users from multiple nations to authorized information on a common network infrastructure considering the expanse of the area of responsibility?
Sensitive Information Set (SIS)
Network Security Enclave (NSE)
Community of Interest (COI)
Problem Statement:Today’s Global Information Grid (GIG)
• A cacophony of service and enterprise networks– Stovepipes that impede information flow– Seams between Services that are exploited by adversaries– Bifurcation that dilutes responsibility and accountability – Complexity that makes it difficult to implement policy and insert
technology• As such today’s GIG is inherently:
– Difficult to secure• Costly to implement necessary security mechanisms
– Inefficient• Rife with duplication between the Services and Agencies
– Inflexible• Networks are dedicated to information sharing communities
and locked-in preventing re-use for alternate information sharing communities (i.e., “communities of interest”)
