Strategic Approach to Information Systems Protection.

Abstract

The National Security Strategy (NSS) states that the national security posture is dependent on information infrastructure and its protection. Information and information systems have strategic value due to ubiquitous interconnection with national infrastructure. Because of the strategic implications, comprehensive protection of information systems is essential. Unfortunately, many Department of Defense (DoD) information systems are still being fielded without adequate consideration of this important aspect. Protection of information systems cannot be an afterthought. It must be integrated with the solution to information system requirements. This SRP examines a conceptual framework for the fielding of protected information systems for those involved in the planning, budgeting, design, implementation, operation, and support of DoD information systems.
