General Explains How Army Will Attain New Network Vision

Maj. Gen. Garrett Yee, USA, acting director of cybersecurity for the Army Chief Information Officer (CIO)/G-6 office, addressed a full house at the chapter's March luncheon. In his remarks, the general defined the Army's vision for the network as flat, fast, mobile and protected. He summed up the service's approach to achieving this vision in three steps: Stop what the Army is doing wrong, fix what is broken, and pivot to new technology and strategy. Cybersecurity efforts will focus on three so-called "buckets": risk management framework (RMF), endpoint security through Joint Regional Security Stacks (JRSS) and network security for the enterprise. The Army is exploring potential industry solutions, including commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) solutions to automate the RMF process.
