"Pentagon Wants to Scale Up Its Device Security Program"

The U.S. Defense Department's (DoD) Comply-to-Connect (C2C) program aims to ensure that smartphones, laptops, desktops, and other devices connected to the department's network meet the Pentagon's cybersecurity requirements. The DoD wants to expand the C2C program to devices connecting to networks across the military. Activities performed through the program include finding all devices connected to the network, keeping track of these devices, and analyzing them to ensure that they comply with the department's strict cybersecurity standards. The program prevents access to the network and quickly removes non-compliant devices. A request for information recently issued by the Defense Information Systems Agency seeks industry feedback about software management platforms that could help put C2C capabilities into operation. This article continues to discuss the goals, capabilities, and expansion of the C2C program.
