What’s the Problem?
A series of stovepipes wired together & not organized or aligned for effective interoperabilityLittle-to-no focus on System-of-Systems or Enterprise-level engineering
Integration & Interoperability an afterthoughtResulting in an IT infrastructurethat is:Too large
Too old & too hard to upgrade
Too varied & expensive
Too hard to manage & operateToo hard to defend
We Need a Disciplined Engineering
Approach to Interoperability and CybersecuritySlide3
Fundamental Changes Needed to Improve Navy Interoperability & CybersecurityCurrent IT Infrastructure
Future End StateComplex design driven by stovepipe acquisitionPoor configuration management
Simplified design with no stovepipes
Enables disciplined configuration management
Need
Enterprise-Level Approach
to
Interoperability & Cybersecurity
Each program implements security controls
Attackers see a single network with seams
Mandatory implementation of standardized security controls
Fewer seams and smaller attack vector—easier to operate, manage and defendSlide4
