The Defense Information Systems Agency has begun shifting the Defense Department’s dozens of support agencies onto DODNet, a single network for IT-related services.
“One of the reasons the IT reform initiatives were happening is because there was an inconsistent application of IT oversight by the various agencies across the Fourth Estate as a whole,” Col. Chris Autrey, DISA’s lead for the Fourth Estate Network Optimization (4ENO) program, told FCW. The Fourth Estate refers to DOD agencies that are not part of the military, intelligence community or combatant commands.
Although some agencies were doing fine, “some of the smaller agencies struggled because they didn’t have the size to be able to do all the pieces they needed to do,” he said, adding that 4ENO will level the playing field.

One of DODNet’s primary goals is to offload commonly used IT services to DISA so that agencies can focus on their individual missions. DISA kicked things off by migrating its own users to DODNet. After DISA’s pilot migration, the Defense Technical Information Center in Fort Belvoir, Va., began moving to DODNet in February, with a complete migration planned by the end of March.

It had to happen eventually. Out of all the countries in the world, the hacking back debate has finally entered the political discourse in neutral Switzerland. While it is still too early to determine where the discussion will be heading toward, it is also the perfect time to insert a new perspective on hacking back.
Summary
This analysis will try to build a new baseline by explaining the fragmented history of hacking back and outlining varying degrees of operational intensity to refine a more nuanced understanding of hacking back.
1 Having said that, given the small number of publicly known cases, writing about hacking back is similar to putting together a 1000-piece puzzle with a mere 20 pieces while having only a rough idea as to what the complete picture actually looks like.
