Computer Network Defense Roadmap
Abstract
The Department of the Navy (DON) Naval Networking Environment (NNE) 2016 Strategic Definition, Scope and Strategy of May 2008, laid out a roadmap for guiding the DON toward a future net-centric environment. The roadmap presents a transition from today's environment composed of four enterprise computing and communications environments within the DON to NNE. The NNE will provide a highly secure and reliable enterprise-wide voice, video, and data network environment that focuses on the warfighter first, providing ubiquitous access to data, services, and applications from anywhere in the world. Reliance on the DON information infrastructure continues to grow and the threats posed by adversaries are advanced, persistent, and always changing. The DON Information Assurance Policy provides the aligned defense-in-depth program for the DON. The purpose of the DON Computer Network Defense (CND) Roadmap is to communicate the DON strategy for sustaining and improving CND now and in the future as the DON transitions to NNE. In this age of network-centric warfare, computer and network technologies are diffused into virtually all military systems, and interconnected military units operate cohesively. CND is essential to achieving assured networked forces, information sharing, situational awareness, speed of command, and mission effectiveness. The DON CND Roadmap demonstrates the ongoing nature of implementing CND to meet the range of computer network threats. It highlights the need for the Department to make informed decisions as we invest in our CND to optimize our network security posture. CND is not an episodic process, though it changes to meet the changing conditions posed by emerging threats and other real-world events. Additionally, the roadmap shows the high-level linkage of CND strategy to operations, the alignment of CND to the naval mission, and the importance of CND as it flows from the most senior levels of leadership within the DON.
