Abstract
The speed of the modern mission requires rapid data exchange across different security domains. Yet, this need leaves vulnerable tactical network nodes open to cyber-attacks that can cause catastrophic damage to the mission and the defence force. Cross Domain Solutions (CDS) can help to mitigate the risks of malware and zero-day exploits while enabling real-time information exchange.
In this update presentation, TACDS® Solutions Architect Mario Soto, will review the evolution of cross domain communications in the tactical battlespace. He’ll also show how using a CDS specifically designed for tactical missions can act as a force multiplier in today’s fight. Finally, he’ll review some specific use cases for the Australian Defence Force that he’s gathered from discussions and field exercises.
You’ll learn about:
* Balancing the need for real-time data exchange with the need for network protection
* NSA’s Raise the Bar requirements and how they apply to tactical Cross Domain Solutions
* General Dynamics Mission Systems’ Raise the Bar Phase 1-Compliant TACDS® product family and how it can help you succeed in the missions of the 21st century
