Enabling Certification, Accreditation Across a Theater of Operations

Abstract

Certification and accreditation of network enclaves allows Army service component commanders and their designated approving authorities to have a formal and repeatable process of identifying, measuring, mitigating and accepting risks to a critical command and control enabler--their communications networks. The authors, and a team of professionals from the ASCC headquarters, the 335th Signal Command (Theater) (Provisional), and the 160th Signal Brigade, improved the C&A posture of USARCENT. The improvement allows USARCENT to better know what risks the command is formally accepting, as well as identify risks it had been informally accepting but did not truly know about.
