Ports, Protocols, and Services Management Process for the Department of Defense

Abstract

All automated information systems (AIS) used on Department of Defense (DoD) data networks must register the data communication modes identifying the ports, protocols, and application services (PPS) used, and the network boundaries crossed. Compliance with the PPS requirements will reduce development time and cost, increase security, speed certification and accreditation steps, enhance AIS interoperability across the department, and speed operational deployment of all new and updated AIS in DoD. This article introduces the PPS basic concepts, and demonstrates how developers and program managers can comply with the PPS requirements, leverage the security analysis provided by the management office, and obtain the benefits listed.
