Technology/Topic: Navigating DDIL, Tactical Edge and Data-Centric Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) Solutions

______________________________________________

Welcome to the Technical Exchange Meeting (TEM)!

The U.S. Military, Department of Defense (DOD), U.S. Intelligence Community (IC) and select civilian agencies face a critical exposure challenge. Traditional VPNs and existing security protocols can no longer provide secure network communications in contested environments.

So, what do you do when your special purpose tactical network communications are not effective or when you must operate through a ‘dirty internet’ connection? An extra layer of security is required for mission effectiveness in Denied, Degraded, Intermittent and Limited Bandwidth (DDIL) environments and the tactical edge. Even working in the Joint Worldwide Intelligence Communications System (JWICS) would be more effective with this added data-centric security layer. This requires proper tagging and labeling to ensure the right user gains access to the right data at the right time.

During this presentation, participants will: Discover the benefits of direct-routed Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), Learn the meaning of a Software Defined Perimeter (SDP), Understand dynamic access control, Enable resilient operations, Learn the importance of unified access across environments, Understand how Appgate can effectively work in SATCOM, Learn how Single Packet Authorization (SPA) cloaks the edge, Discover why mTLS (Mutual Transport Layer Security) is a requirement for SPA, Realize the value of a scalable and lightweight appliance, and Increase your knowledge of DDIL and Zero Trust at the Tactical Edge.
