Buying a cross-domain solution doesn’t guarantee your mission’s data will get where it needs to go. The harder work is understanding the architecture, risks, stakeholders and approvals that make secure information sharing possible.
In this episode of Tech Transforms, Carolyn Ford talks with John Spicer, VP of Technical Strategy and Co-founder at Nteligen, about why government programs need to approach cross-domain requirements as a mission planning challenge. John shares how overlooked architectural requirements can leave seven figures’ worth of hardware sitting unused—and why an existing, approved solution may sometimes meet a mission’s needs without a new purchase.
They also explore how cross-domain solutions complement zero trust, why cloud elasticity creates challenges for traditional cross-domain architectures, and the distinction between mitigating threats and making informed risk decisions. John explains why Raise the Bar (RTB) guidance supports secure system design but does not replace a mission-specific assessment of acceptable risk.
His advice for leaders: start with the data your mission needs to move, bring the right stakeholders into the conversation early, and build secure information sharing into your roadmap before acquisition begins.
