Ackerman SIGNAL Online Exclusive June 20, 2011 New technology capabilities are driving agency goals. Integrating the network and defending it against cyberattacks are among the top priorities in the new Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) 2011-2012 Campaign Plan. The plan, released this morning, focuses on requirements and opportunities facing the information agency. Citing advances in mobile computing technologies that offer “significant and unprecedented opportunities for seamless information sharing to end users,” the plan notes the need to implement mobile computing devices by delivering mobile applications that provide many vital capabilities, such as the ability to visualize mission information on mobile devices. DISA will have to provide the necessary server infrastructure to support these mobile applications, as well as offer mobile device services as a virtual network provider. The agency’s Web 2.0 effort calls for a participatory environment with a focus on information sharing, collaboration and interoperability, and it will support the evolution of Web 3.0 capabilities and technologies. DISA’s network integration effort involves two endeavors. One is to deliver an integrated platform comprising core Defense Department communications, computing and enterprise information services. The other entails integrating terrestrial, wireless and satellite communications. And, DISA will be creating virtual communities of interest to help further information sharing. For cyberwarfare, DISA is focusing on integrating information assurance services across the enterprise infrastructure and providing information assurance capabilities to the Defense Department. It also will “conduct and influence” cyber risk management and compliance processes to secure that infrastructure.
