JRSS, run by the Defense Information Systems Agency provides cybersecurity services for many DoD components through intrusion detection and prevention, enterprise management, and virtual routing. DISA is tasked with operating and maintaining DoD networks,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the JRSS program has a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/disa\/2019\/05\/14\/a-classified-dod-network-has-problems-now-what\/\" target=_blank>checkered history for being effective<\/a>. In 2018, the Defense Department\u2019s chief weapons tester suggested that the program be shut down. Other tests have also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/show-reporter\/afcea-west\/2018\/02\/08\/the-debate-about-whether-disas-new-security-system-is-ready-for-primetime\/\" target=_blank>found several operational and technical troubles<\/a>. Now defense committees in both legislative chambers are trying to rein in the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Senate bill authorizes cuts of about $11.6 million from the JRSS, including $11.1 million in JRSS procurement funds for SIPRNet and about $500,000 in research, development, testing and evaluation. The House bill authorizes deeper cuts, slashing procurement dollars from $88 million to $8 million and research and development funds to zero from $9 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because of the continued challenges plaguing the program \u201cthe committee believes that the deployment of JRSS on the Secret Internet Protocol Router Network is thus inappropriate, given JRSS\u2019 limited cybersecurity capability and the existence of alternative capabilities to execute its network functions,\u201d the Senate committee wrote in a report accompanying the bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As Congress questions the efficacy of the program, it also wants answers. Under the legislation, the Secretary of Defense would have to answers the following questions by Dec. 1, 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Is the Department of Defense Information Network properly designed to achieve JRSS\u2019 intended network middle tier security and network functions?<\/li><li>Is the JRSS hardware and software stack technologically obsolete?<\/li><li>If JRSS were to be properly manned with proficiently trained personnel, can it perform the security functions it was intended to provide within affordable manning and training resources?<\/li><li>What are the required security functions that can be measured and subjected to operational testing?<\/li><li>Is the collection of cybersecurity related data and metadata enabled at JRSS nodes being consumed by other cybersecurity systems \u2014 for example, the Big Data Platform and Security Information and Event Management capabilities?<\/li><li>Is JRSS performing its network management functions well, and should the security functions of JRSS be terminated in favor of other solutions and investments?<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the DoD finds that JRSS should move forward, it must develop a plan to transition it to a program of record by October 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fiscal 2019 report from the Pentagon\u2019s Office of the Director of Operational Test and Evaluation recommended that the DoD chief information officer refrain from migrating more users to JRSS until \u201cthe system demonstrates that it is capable of helping network defenders to detect and respond to operationally realistic cyber\u2011attacks.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Language in the Senate NDAA would bar funds from being spent
