Another speaker at the event, Mark Orndorff, DISA’s mission assurance executive, addressed high-level objectives for mission assurance and said DISA is working in partnership with the military services, leveraging their capabilities and enabling them by providing enterprise services, but he emphasized that DISA is “not going to take over and do all the cyber defense for everybody.”
He also drew attention to the Cyber Situational Awareness Analytic Cloud (CSAAC) – which DISA calls a cloud-based software architecture enabling the intake of large data sets to the cloud and providing platforms for processing the data, as well as the mechanisms – analytics and visual tools – to help analysts make sense of it all.
“I really think that this analytic cloud should be and is the most important activity that we have on our plate right now,” said Orndorff.
