The United States military is developing their own exclusive, secure 4G network and mobility solutions as it developers joint information environment said Defence Information Systems Agency (DISA) director, Lt. Gen. Ronnie D. Hawkins Jr. yesterday. The US Department of Defence is ready to spend $23 billion in the next 4 years to roll out the networks to make sure that their cyber defence strategy is up to date. The program will include building a secure 4G network available exclusively to the defence personnel that will connect most modern gadgets by mid 2014.
Hawkins said that the agency wants to normalize their networks so that the information can move without firewalls and into separate networks. A single security architecture is being put in place to protect data and move it across the enterprise.
Hawkins further said that DISA has already developed a number of integrated voice data and video technologies which are currently undergoing testing & review. The agency is continuously exploring ethernet-over-Internet protocol pilots.
Dempsey, the highest ranking military official in the US said that there's a 17 fold increase in the cyber attacks on the nation's critical infrastructure since 2011. During his speech, Dempsey said that the department would consolidate all the 15,000 of its networks into a cloud-based enterprise platform. He said he already had a very secure phone that'd make the Batman and James Bond jealous.
