The Department of Defense has thousands of networks, each with many more thousands of connected devices like PCs and servers as well as connected systems such as HVAC controls, security sensors, and cameras. Knowing all of the devices on the DoD ’s Information Network, or DODIN, has always been a challenge, especially since they are transient. In other words, they connect, drop off, then re-connect on a routine basis. Staying on top of all that activity, while optimizing both security and availability, is a challenge. And if they don’t know that a device is connected, they can’t defend it or the information on it. Comply to Connect, or ‘C2C,’ is going changing all of that.
