Introducing JRSS 1.0: First installation of joint regional security stacks comes online

摘要

As the Defense Department edges closer to making its Joint Information Environment a reality, the pieces are coming together, perhaps most tangibly in the form of the joint regional security stacks (JRSS). Pegged as one of JIE's cornerstones that will better secure military networks and standardize defense IT, JRSS is evolving into a foundational piece of broader departmentwide efforts to transform how the military handles IT, networks and global communications. "One of the early successes of the JIE is the deployment of joint regional security stacks, which are a component of the single security architecture and will ultimately help to improve command and control and situational awareness across the enterprise," said Col Daniel Liggins, the vice director of the JIE implementation office at the Defense Information Systems Agency, which is helping lead DoD's sweeping IT restructuring taking place under JIE. "The stacks are being installed at various sites around the world."
