Army looks to include software for unit readiness reporting"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md. \u2014 The Army is preparing to make software a key readiness metric for units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the past when units reported their level of readiness, it was mostly hardware-based with zero considerations of software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cReadiness was like, \u2018Hey, do I have my parts and do I have spares and all the hardware stuff?\u2019 But if your software isn\u2019t working, are you ready? Probably not. It wasn\u2019t part of the calculation,\u201d Jennifer Swanson, director of Communications-Electronics Command\u2019s Software Engineering Center, told C4ISRNET in a Nov. 2 interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Her center worked with the Army G-3\/5\/7 to define software readiness metrics, such as operating an approved software version and having installed the most up-to-date software within 30 days of it being posted. As a result, the G-3\/5\/7 issued an execute order and conducted pilots last year to test its software readiness reporting. It\u2019s now expected that a final order will be issued in Fiscal Year 2022 that will require units to report their software readiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf you\u2019re not updating your software, then you will need to report as non-mission capable,\u201d Swanson said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Software has proven to have immense strategic and tactical importance as a threat vector. Outdated software can be exploited by adversaries or cause systems to not work properly. Some software patches are so critical, they need to be downloaded immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Swanson provided the example of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/cyber\/2020\/12\/17\/its-going-to-take-a-lot-of-digging-the-pentagons-long-search-to-see-if-anyones-hiding-in-its-networks\/\" target=\"_blank\">SolarWinds compromise<\/a>, attributed by the U.S. government to the Russian foreign intelligence service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe had SolarWinds out there \u2026 The beauty of it was for SolarWinds, we had the [software repository] available and we were able to post that stuff up on a Friday night and watch units start pulling it down immediately, which as you said, that wouldn\u2019t have been the case prior to that,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army is planning to update its software repository so it can tell which units downloaded which software patches, and when they did so. The software repository is a portal created in October 2020 that allows units anywhere in the world to download updates \u2014 much like commercial cell phones. Previously, the Army would have to mail hard disks to units to get their updates. This meant updates might not arrive in a timely fashion, creating certain vulnerabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the current version of the software repository allows for some level of oversight to see what units are downloading updates, officials can\u2019t see who is downloading what. The software repository 2.0, expected this spring, gives the oversight of exactly who downloaded what when.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That type of capability would have proved important during SolarWinds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFor SolarWinds as an example, you\u2019ve got spreadsheets that are being emailed all over the SIPR[Net] side of the house \u2026 trying to figure out here\u2019s a list of units and this one got it and this one loaded it,\u201d Swanson said. \u201cWhat the Repo 2.0 will allow you is you don\u2019t have to do all of that. You will know who got the patch.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It also allows the Army to have greater insight on units\u2019 readiness when it comes to software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There could be an issue with a unit that isn\u2019t updating to the latest version. Maybe they have connectivity issues or are just ignoring it, Swanson said. But having that level of fidelity allows the Army to contact those units to see what problems might exist. It allows the Army to be proactive instead of reactive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The software repository is currently being migrated to the Army cloud from the Defense Information Systems Agency, which hosts it. Swanson said her organization is partnering with the Army chief information officer and its set of DevSecOps tools to build out the updated repository.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Army will soon be able to see who has downloaded what software updates when.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":31919,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":16,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":{"10":{"categories":["daily-news-roundup","newsletters"],"primary_category":"daily-news-roundup"}}},"categories":[106,29,16,32],"tags":[],"coauthors":[3268],"class_list":["post-25724","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-daily-brief","category-home","category-it-networks","category-newsletters"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"EIALRYEZ3VFFBECAMG2V4YWYVI","arc_canonical_url":"\/it-networks\/2021\/11\/04\/no-updated-software-not-mission-capable-army-looks-to-include-software-for-unit-readiness-reporting\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>No updated software, not mission capable.
