The need to secure "cyberspace" is absolutely vital to our everyday lives and for doing business, but takes on even more importance when we are talking about the security of a nation. Cyberspace is the operating domain realized most prominently over communications networks, the services they enable, and the data conveyed by those services is now a nearly universal mandate across the globe.

High Level Security Management for Defense
|  High Level Security Management Policy
Effective operation of the DoD's Global Information Grid (GIG) requires comprehensive security management across all NetOps and Information Assurance (IA) functions, broadly allocated to the GIG Network Assurance 'essential task' area. Continuous provision of secure net-centric operations over the GIG is essential for mission assurance in virtually every DoD endeavor. Consequently, ensuring that our personnel, processes, services, systems, networks, and data function within an ecosystem of seamless security management is critical to assured availability, delivery, and protection of the information assets needed for mission assurance. This presentation will cover the major DoD policies governing security management requirements and the implications for the TM Forum and the major industry segments represented by its members.
Randy Tanaka is the Technical Director for Global Information Grid (GIG) Operations (GO), Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA), Arlington, VA, an organization comprised of 2,700 personnel located in 27 locations in 7 countries coordinating and synchronizing the delivery and preparation of agency capabilities.
Mr. Tanaka has been with DISA for about 20 years, both as a US Naval Officer and civilian. While at DISA, he has been involved with Nuclear command and control (C2), Presidential communications, Missile Defense communications, and recently served as the SATCOM Engineering division chief. He became the DISA GIG Operations Technical Director (GOTD) in July 2009. As GOTD, his three top priorities are understanding COCOM requirements; evaluating the operational readiness of DISA programs and projects; and NetOps requirements, concept of operations (CONOPS), and readiness.
Data Models for Network Defense
The Department of Defense, under the leadership of OSD/NII, has developed a series of data models designed to allow network defenders to transmit required network defense data internally and externally to the DoD to better defend the network and allow for shared situational awareness. The key concepts in these data models are 1) common labels, so users call elements by the same name across the multiple operational domains; 2) commonly understood relationships, so users will have common expectations of how information can be correlated; and 3) common enumerated lists and naming conventions for informational constructs. Where possible, common labels, enumerations, and relationships are used in each of the data models. Object re-use in this fashion enhances correlation, facilitates object re-use, and poises the network defense domain for interoperability with other domains. Top level concepts in the Network Defense data model include Vulnerability, Device, Threat, Incident, and Event.

The Changing Nature of Data Center Security
This session will discuss how virtualization and cloud computing have introduced new methods for managing and sharing information within and across computing organizations, and have introduced complexity within the data center. Consequently, the implementations of these new technologies has significantly transformed how the Defense Information Systems Agency has had to architect, secure, monitor, and manage their data centers-regardless of where the data or computing operations are located.

Securing Government Networks & the Cloud; Strategies & Benefits
|  A Smart Grid Communications Strategy
Today’s electric grid is very antiquated and is one of the top areas of concern for Home land Security. The Obama administration is focused on bringing the electric grid into the 21st century. Although the new Smart Grid will take decades to develop, many companies have made great strides so far. ATT, Verizon, and Google are playing in the Smart Meter arena while Qwest is moving into backhaul territory. In addition smaller wireless telecom start-ups are bringing end to end capability to Smart Grid as it also expands to Home Area Network (HAN). This presentation will detail the main area of focus for communications within Smart Grid and how a company should develop its strategy. It will also outline the stimulus funding available to deploy and develop Smart Grid.
