The Defense Information Systems Agency has refreshed its three-year strategy to better emphasize cyber defense, the role of cloud and enterprise services. Because of the planning efforts we undertook in 2019, DISA was able to turn on a dime to support the Department of Defense and the whole-of-government response to the COVID-19 pandemic, said Navy Vice Adm. Nancy Norton, director of DISA and commander of Joint Force Headquarters-Department of Defense Information Network. But we had to accelerate implementation at a very rapid pace.
Technology solutions, such as the cloud-based internet isolation (CBII) browser, that emerged from the pandemic response are now foundational to DISA s strategy, which aims to provide a framework for what and how the agency acquires products and services in the coming years.
