“With a long history of successfully modernising and managing complex, high-value networks and systems, we are confident that we have the right people, processes and technology to help our airforce customer accelerate their modernisation journey.”

The standardisation of the management architecture will allow all airforce bases to meet security requirements and maintain updates to ensure preparedness for persistent network attacks and cyber threats.

In February last year, the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) completed the SIPRNet Access Migration Project.

The project transformed SIPRNet into a virtual network. Other improvements included greater bandwidth capacity and reduced network size.
