A Way to Operationalize the DOD's Critical Infrastructure Protection Program Using Information Assurance Policies and Technologies
Abstract
The Department of Defense (DoD) Defense Critical Infrastructure Protection Program has recently reorganized under the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Homeland Defense under the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy. Requirements have been set forth in DoDD 3020.ff Defense Critical Infrastructure which is in final coordination and is anticipated to be published later this fiscal year. This policy states that Defense Critical Infrastructure and non-DoD infrastructures are essential to planning mobilizing deploying and sustaining military operations within the U.S. as well as globally shall be available when required. Today's Combatant Commanders do not have the ability to quickly and efficiently share information that identifies critical infrastructure assets and single points of failure to prevent physical or cyber attacks from impairing the Global Information Grid. The intent of this paper is to provide a construct to Operationalize the DoD's Critical Infrastructure Protection Program through the use of Information Assurance policies methodologies and technologies and to identify strategic implications of vulnerabilities to the Combatant Commander and supporting agencies.
