DISA's three new documents more thoroughly define cloud security and the steps to achieving it,
outlining the responsibilities of the organizations and managers
increasingly capitalizing on commercial cloud offerings. The release
underscores the Defense Department's growing adoption of commercial
cloud offerings.
The cloud access point (CAP) functional requirements document (FRD) prescribes a barrier of protection between the Department of Defense Information Network (DoDIN) and Internet-based public cloud service offerings, directing defense agencies to implement protections for the connection points linking the two. The first DISA-established CAP is a modified NIPRNet federated gateway, according to the documents.
"As DoD strives to meet the objectives of the DoD CIO to maximize the use of cloud computing, the DoDIN perimeter must continue to be protected against cyber threats from external connections," the documents state. "The CAP will proactively and reactively prevent attacks against the DoDIN infrastructure, particularly traffic from mission applications that originates in the cloud service environment…there are many information assurance functions that may be implemented as detect and prevent measures to address the different types of external attacks."
