Security Shift in Future Network Architectures

Abstract

In current practice military communication infrastructures are deployed as stand-alone networked information systems. Network-Enabled Capabilities (NEC) and combined military operations lead to new requirements which current communication architectures cannot deliver. This paper informs IT architects, information architects and security specialists about the separation of network and information security, the consequences of this shift and our view on future communication infrastructures in deployed environments. The result of this paper is a proposal for a new architecture which addresses both security and flexibility requirements in deployed infrastructures as well as system management while retaining the system high mode of operation.
