NCOIC and the

Cyberspace Ecosystem

NCOIC considers Interaction of People, Processes,and Technology in a Net-Centric Environment

Cyber Security considerations are critical to thesuccessful use of Cyberspace in society!

Classic Information Assurance factors:(for Systems, Services, Networks, Information, etc.“Assured” at some Level of Trust) Assured Availability

Assured Integrity

Assured Authentication (& Identity Management)

Assured Confidentiality (& Authorization & Access Control)

Assured Non-Repudiation (& Forensic Audit Trails)

Security Management (People, Technology, Operations)

Multiple National Policies and Legal Constraints (many conflict!)

Many Domain-Specific needs and difference in priorities/emphasis!

Growing concern regarding dependence on Cyberspace with corresponding vulnerability to attack, catastrophe, etc.

Interoperability of Global Cyber Security implementations across joint, interagency,

intergovernmental, and multinational industrial & commercial operations is key!

Traditional Security Mechanisms

Not Sufficient for Cyber Security

Some Traditional Security Mechanisms vs. Cyber Security Needs:

―Need to Know‖ vs. ―Need to Share‖

Point-to-Point Networks vs. Global Internet

Risk Adverse vs. Managed Risk

Tightly-coupled Systems/Networks vs. SOA / Cloud Computing

Public and/or Private Clouds providing Infrastructure-as-a-Service,

Platform-as-a-Service, Software-as-a-Service

Systems vs. System-of-Systems vs. Federation-of-Systems

Controlled vs. ad hoc composition and interaction

Key NCOIC Technical Topic at June and September Plenaries:

Authentication Methodologies: Current and Future (with emphasis on Internet)

Common & Domain-Specific Needs (to become SCOPE Dimensions)

Key Figures of Merit / Metrics (to become NCAT evaluation criteria)

Options for Solutions (to support Trade Studies and eventually NIF Patterns)

Why NCOIC is Good for Business

Provides direct access to broad global customer base at the highest level,

and entrée to others through NCOIC relationships

Provides access to potential partners, suppliers and competitors for NCO

business

Illustrates global thought leadership & consensus with international

stakeholders on NCO/NEC

– No compromise of national or alliance interests

Industry consensus on NCO standards beneath the application layer

reduces cost, provides for more efficient design and effective partnering

Certification program will validate interoperability of systems within defined

parameters

―Like organizations that pioneered the Internet, NCOIC sponsors innovative thought,

conducts critical analyses, and demonstrates how a net-centric environment can

bring interoperability to a broad range of sectors. In this way, NCOIC helps member

companies to find new markets, evaluate their unique needs and explore ways to drive

interoperability into those markets.‖ Terry Morgan, Cisco.

Global Stakeholders

“The Australian Department of Defence is a keen supporter of NCOIC, its principles and tools.

We aim to apply NCOIC‘s products to our acquisition process to better define interoperability

requirements and improve through-life systems integration prospects.‖ John McGarry,

Australian Air Commodore.

"We have used NCOIC‘s NCAT tool to assess levels of interoperability during NATO

Response Force exercises. Our Centre of Excellence found the tool to be very useful in

establishing the level of interoperability." Commander Fred van Ettinger, Section Head of

the Multi National Command and Control Centre of Excellence.

“NCOIC has four characteristics which make it unique. The organization is solely dedicated to

network-centric operations and interoperability; its membership stimulates discussions about

global interoperability; it serves as a ‗vendor neutral‘ forum, and it has a cadre of industry‘s top

technical experts who are available to do its work.‖ Jack Zavin, U.S. Office of the Assistant

Secretary of Defense, Networks and Information Integration.

Benefits of Membership

―From NCOIC members and senior government advisors, we continue to learn how to improve

the world we know today. And we are overwhelmed with opportunities to see the way network-

centric operations can shape the future.‖ USAF Lt.Gen. (Ret.) Harry Raduege, Chairman of the

Deloitte Center for Cyber Innovation.

―Consortium leaders gain insight about the direction of a customer‘s vision and the potential

network-centric business opportunity,‖ he says. ―They‘re in a better position to see the future, take

a hand in shaping it and place their company‘s bets on new solutions, more precisely.‖ Terry

Morgan, Cisco.

―People who operate in one market segment adopt a model about how the world works--that can

lead to a mental rut. But NCOIC members come from many sectors and have opinions that don‘t

always agree with your own. Within the context of such a collaborative environment, diverse

thinking can be a catalyst for innovation.‖ Hans Polzer, Senior Fellow, Lockheed Martin.

―Achieving interoperability among systems is huge work and there are national political barriers.

When NCOIC members work together as transnational companies these obstacles diminish—

even though the companies can only discuss non-sensitive issues— but they can focus on real

technical difficulties. NCOIC is then by far the best forum for ongoing conversations about

interoperability. Outside this forum, when national customers have more influence, such

collaboration would be much more difficult.‖ Dr. Claude Roche, EADS Defence & Security and

NCOIC Executive Council member.

―We are a global society and the next series of potential problems—civil wars, scarce water, food

shortages, pandemics, cyber warfare—cannot be resolved by one nation. To avoid catastrophic

outcomes our only chance is to cooperate. We have incredible motivation to work together and

NCOIC is making significant contributions to the technological foundation that will help nations

collaborate.‖ Brett Biddington, Cisco Systems’Global Government Solutions Group.

NCOIC Goal: Facilitate Implementation of Network Centric Operations /Net Enabled Capability

Increase interoperability within and among systems involved in

Interagency and Multinational operations

Lower development costs and increase commonality of design in

future systems – tailored standards and best practices

Improve application readiness through more rapid fielding of network

centric systems – leverage technical ―lessons learned‖

Reduce systems cost and sustainability through re-use and

commonality – facilitate ease of integration, upgrade, and support

Reduce Development Risk by identifying the common components

needed for the network centric environment – Develop them where

none exist

Improve Application Effectiveness through new, more focused

development on domain specific capabilities

―Although the applications domain is very diverse, integration problems across applications are similar. It‘s

interesting that we see a larger field of applications in NCOIC than we do, for instance, within the e-

Government sector. If we can learn from the experience of developers in diverse sectors and apply it to the

net-centric environment, that can open doors to new markets such as defense, homeland security and

emergency response.‖ Linda Strick, Fraunhofer Institute for Open Communication Systems.

―NCOIC‘s delicate alchemy fosters true collaboration among global companies that are often fierce business

competitors. Their efforts to resolve customers‘ interoperability issues recently resulted in the publication of

NCOIC‘s Interoperability Framework, a set of guiding principles for developers of network-centric systems,

products and services.‖ Nicholas Berthet, Thales Battlespace Transformation Centre.

Key Messages

NCOIC participation provides your business leaders direct personal contact with the key global leaders of your customer base in an information sharing environmen

NCOIC is analyzing mission threads and requirements to identify the standards and patterns required for mission execution. Members create opportunities to drive these standards and obtain early implementation insights.

NCOIC is engaging key government and civilian customers in identifying standards. Members interact with customers in a non-procurement setting, shaping requirements.

NCOIC is providing an architectural framework which allows COTS standardsto be used in NCO. This influence will guide how standards will be used in future operations. Those who understand and help guide this framework will be better equipped to consult on NCO utilization.

NCOIC assessment & analysis tools -- NCAT™ and SCOPE -- allow customers to make accurate decisions on how to employ NCO capabilities.
