While the Defense Department plans to beef up its primary telework platform, the Commercial Virtual Remote (CVR) environment, by next summer, it is also working on a more secure version, according to John Sherman, DOD s principal deputy CIO.
The Defense Department rolled out CVR earlier this year to accommodate teleworking in response to the pandemic. So far, over a million users are using it for telework, collaboration, calls and video conferences, but a permanent version of the Office 365-based capability is required to support higher-sensitivity, controlled unclassified information and mission critical information, Sherman said Oct. 28 during C4ISRNET s CyberCon event.

Telework and cybersecurity tools top the Defense Information Systems Agency s priorities for 2021, including adding onto its cloud-based internet isolation browser solution that created an air gap between internet traffic and DOD s network.
Steve Wallace, DISA s systems innovation scientist for the emerging technology directorate, said the plan is to take CBII s technology and apply it to email and attachments in fiscal 2021. Now we re thinking we can take some of those same technologies and apply them to the problem around email and attachments, Wallace said during the virtual AFCEA TechNet Cyber conference Dec. 3, adding that DISA is still trying to understand that space.
