The Defense Information Systems Agency has announced the modernization of DODNet operations in anticipation of large-scale migrations of defense agencies and field activities.
The agency said Wednesday it aims to integrate advanced technologies to strengthen the network through data-driven, cloud-based management, automation platforms, zero trust cyber compliance and enhanced user experience. The modernization initiative is designed to ensure that warfighters, DISA and the DODNet community are more capable of addressing emerging threats and safeguarding national security through reinforced cyber defenses and reliable network operations.
DODNet’s Strategic Partnerships and Key Advancements
DISA has forged strategic partnerships to accelerate the advancement of DODNet operations. The collaborations have reportedly resulted in strengthened network security, automation-driven efficiencies and AI-driven observability. They also bolster cyber resilience, meeting Defense Department zero trust mandates. Furthermore, the integration optimizes resources and processes and minimizes IT complexity and manual workloads.
The agency collaborated with Infoblox to enhance automated network management, reducing trouble tickets by 65 percent since its deployment. Inflobox’s technology reinforced DODNet’s cybersecurity and network availability and enabled real-time threat intelligence.
DISA leveraged Ansible’s intelligent automation technology to bolster network operations by optimizing provisioning, configuration and patching. It also minimized repetitive tasks by 40 percent and fast-tracked deployment by 50 percent.
By utilizing ScienceLogic’s intelligent and secure IT operations platform, the agency enhanced the network’s real-time visibility and system reliability. It has managed to boost situational awareness through proactive issue detection and resolution.
