DISA aligns strategic priorities to meet C2 requirements and drive innovation

BALTIMORE – The increasing pace of change throughout the cyberspace battlefield requires Defense Information Systems Agency's mission to move at the "velocity of action to win," while meeting the needs of the warfighter across the globe, the agency's lead officer said Wednesday.

In the past five years, China accelerated its cyber capabilities at an alarming rate and continues to use the domain and data to support their own agenda, said Air Force Lt. Gen. Robert J. Skinner, DISA director and JFHQ-DODIN commander, during the 2021 AFCEA TechNet Cyber conference.

Along with China, near-peer competitors, non-state actors and extremist organizations, have demonstrated their cyber-related capacities by challenging military, industry and government networks.

"The Department of Defense Information Network is made up of 300 million Internet Protocol version 4, or IP, address spaces," Skinner said, adding that the DODIN is the third-largest network behind the U.S. and China. "The ability to command and control, secure, operate and defend the DOD's network is important."
