7 3 Things to Remember about our Network 1. Network Modernization is critical and necessary for cybersecurity. 2. Innovative, consistent improvement efforts will make the network stronger and more effective. 3. Cybersecurity Awareness is everyone s responsibility. A key component of that is to be able to communicate voice, digital, video, and so on in any environment, globally and against any foe. - GEN Milley, on Network Reviews from Breaking Defense article 7 June

10 Cybersecurity Awareness Daily news reminds us that cybersecurity awareness is everyone s responsibility. October is National Cyber Security Awareness Month but this is an ALL THE TIME focused effort. Army will kick off our year-long Cybersecurity Awareness Campaign internally in September 2017 then we will continue to highlight our efforts externally throughout the year. Our focus is to remind everyone who touches our network that we are ALL responsible we need to be aware of cyber threats and incidents, their impact and risks posed to the Army s readiness and our mission. Insider threats and external attacks are unfortunately real and happening every single day. 10

11 How Industry Can Help Simple, secure solutions to complex problems Don t box us in with proprietary solutions- enable a common operating environment Always keep in mind: expeditionary, tailorable, and scalable enterprise to the edge! Resilient and interoperable solutions- no single points of failure Mobility matters must keep up in a fast-paced combined arms maneuver fight Bake cyber security in up front help us reduce the attack surface Reduce the requirements for Field Service Representatives to operate and maintain

12 Why is this Important? Keeping the network effective, protected and aligned to the Joint community supports our Army s mission and our people. Our people are our number one resource. They are our best weapon. Our people get the mission done both in uniform and out in industry. The network ties directly back to our people. 12
