DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY ENVIRONMENT WAY FORWARD TO STMTEGIC LANDSCAPE - Table of Contents Introduction 1 Department of Defense Chief Information Officer 3 Department of Defense IT Environment – Legacy Built and Complex 3 Vision for Tomorrow’s DoD IT Environment 4 Way Forward to Tomorrow’s DoD IT Environment 7 Goal 1 Execute Joint Information Environment Capability Initiatives 7 Goal 2 Improve Partnerships with Mission Partners and Industry 7 Goal 3 Ensure Successful Mission Execution in the Face of the Cyber Threat 7 Goal 4 Provide a DoD Cloud Computing Environment 8 Goal 5 Optimize the Department’s Data Center Infrastructure 8 Goal 6 Exploit the Power of Trusted Information Sharing 8 Goal 7 Provide a Resilient Communications and Network Infrastructure 9 Goal 8 Improve Oversight and Execution of DoD IT Investments 9 The Department’s network must be mobile enough to support missions almost anywhere in the world and flexible enough to facilitate collaboration with whatever partners a mission requires expected or unexpected In this complex wide-ranging IT environment the number of organization-specific networks and computing systems used to execute DoD missions and the systematic manner in which IT is developed through a highly regulated process has resulted in a sub-optimal situation The unnecessary complexity of this network and computing environment limits visibility and impedes the capability to securely share information and globally execute operations with mission partners The current legacy environment offers too few enterprise and shared services It is difficult to defend and both costly to operate and maintain It also lacks the agility needed to fully support the dynamic mission environment The complexity means the Department cannot exploit the latest technology or share information internally or with allies as universally as required Tomorrow’s DoD IT environment will address this in close collaboration with industry through a seamless transparent resilient secure DoD IT infrastructure that will empower simplified information sharing with mission partners Vision for Tomorrow’s DoD IT Environment DoD IT of Tomorrow – Integrated Resilient Dynamic Secure Responsive In today’s strategic environment warfare extends into space and cyberspace Adversary capabilities in these areas can be expected to expand in tomorrow’s strategic environment A seamless transparent infrastructure that transforms data into actionable information and ensures dependable mission execution in the face of the persistent cyber threat is vital in this new IT-driven operational environment To accomplish this vision in the Department where IT spending is set by law and executed under US Code Title X which means it is decentralized by law more effective oversight of IT investments are essential Effective oversight will empower decision makers to understand where IT spending is going and make the best decisions for the security efficiency and effectiveness of DoD IT investments DoD will not succeed without close collaboration with its industry mission and other critical partners The “DoD IT Environment – Way Forward to Tomorrow’s Strategic Landscape” is this longterm path DoD is moving toward a consolidated office automation and collaboration environment that delivers unified capabilities across DoD This will provide a set of tools and services that can be accessed and used by any Department entity or individual to share and communicate information DoD is working to ensure mission success in the face of cyber warfare by the most capable adversaries This envisions an environment in which any mission can be successfully executed in a threat-ridden cyber environment DoD is helping to ensure that national assets are available ready and assured when needed DoD is moving from a culture of compliance to a culture of risk assessment transitioning to thinking about IT as a capability rather than as a program 4 Objective 3 Assure Survivability Against Highly Sophisticated Cyber Attacks Objective 4 Evolve the Cybersecurity Workforce Objective 5 Ensure that Warfighting Government Operations and Intelligence Missions are Conducted in a Secure Communications Environment Goal 4 Provide a DoD Cloud Computing Environment Mission Impact DoD operations are supported with a new less complex more agile and defensible IT environment that is more mission capable and less costly to operate This increases mobility virtualization and integration of virtual services into DoD strategic environments Near-Term Focus Establish an on premise managed cloud service capability by the fourth quarter fiscal year 2017 Objective 1 Provide a Hybrid Cloud Environment Objective 2 Deploy Shared and DoD Enterprise IT Services via the DoD Cloud Environment Objective 3 Accelerate Delivery of New Applications and Digital Services Objective 4 Secure the DoD Cloud Environment Goal 5 Optimize the Department’s Data Center Infrastructure Mission Impact Optimized DoD computing infrastructure provides greater operational and technical resilience improves interoperability and effectiveness incre delivery prioritizes secure capabilities and reduces costs Near-Term Focus Establish a data center closure team to assess and recommend closures of the costliest and least efficient facilities beginning in the first Objective 1 Consolidate DoD Data Centers and Local Computing Infrastructure Objective 2 Rationalize DoD Applications and Systems for Migration into Core Data Centers CDCs and Core Enterprise Data Centers CEDCs Goal 6 Exploit the Power of Trusted Information Sharing Mission Impact Enhanced support to decision making processes — through secure access to DoD information and application of common data standards — improves collaboration both across the DoD enterprise and with external mission partners Near-Term Focus DoD is working on a two-year plan to eliminate Common Access Cards CACs from the Department’s information systems This effort inclu closely with NATO and FVEY partners on a consistent approach to credentialing 8 CIO 600 Defense Pentagon Washington DC
