Cybersecurity Building Momentum for the Defense Joint Information Environment (JIE), According to DeltekHERNDON, Va., Jan. 17, 2016 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- According to Deltek's new GovWin IQ report – Defense IT: Priorities and Strategies, 2017 and Beyond – rapidly shifting cyber threats are driving the Department of Defense's implementation of the new Joint Information Environment (JIE). The JIE will address key vulnerabilities in Department of Defense (DoD) IT infrastructure, enabling it to take advantage of emerging capabilities in cloud computing, cybersecurity, big data, mobility, business systems, health IT, and unmanned systems. However, uncertainty abounds as budget pressures continue to loom and a new administration takes office. Ongoing efforts to transform the defense IT ecosystem into the JIE demonstrate the DoD's intent to keep cost consciousness front-and-center while addressing critical security and standardization requirements. JIE development also underpins DoD's adoption of cloud computing and big data. Deltek anticipates opportunities will develop for government contractors that provide on-premise data center services and Software-as-a-Service capabilities. DoD also intends to harness big data analytics within its new environment to enhance cybersecurity and support the use of emerging technologies such as autonomous unmanned systems and the Internet of Things. KEY FINDINGS
"One of DoD's biggest challenges is in integrating cyber into other warfare domains and technology. The JIE is intended to provide the infrastructure – interoperable, standardized, and based on open architecture – to accomplish security goals and make it easier to incorporate cyber into broader operational strategies." – John Slye, Advisory Research Analyst, Deltek "President-elect Trump's budgetary vision for the DoD will determine the scope of the opportunity for innovation. If properly funded, opportunities will develop in emerging areas in cybersecurity, autonomy, and cloud architecture." – Alex Rossino, Senior Principal Research Analyst, Deltek TWEETS Growing #DoD cyber threats fuel momentum in Joint Information Environment (JIE) development, #Deltek report http://ow.ly/9Cd1307Z2ja Biggest #DoD challenges: blending cyber into traditional warfare & hardening weapons systems. #Deltek report: http://ow.ly/9Cd1307Z2ja According to #Deltek report, FY 2017 defense authorization could make it easier for DoD to innovate http://ow.ly/9Cd1307Z2ja For more information on GovWin IQ and this report, visit the "Defense IT: Priorities and Strategies, 2017 and Beyond" page or download the free summary here.
