Our SIPRNet (Secret Internet Protocol Router Network) areas require a dedicated network engineer to maintain and support its accreditation. SIPR connectivity is vital and a requirement for the programs they support. The networking effort for this is a demanding task that requires a full-time network engineer to conduct regular scans, patches, and testing and adhere to the constant new requirements imposed by the government agencies with whom we work (DISA). The latest is the new C2C (Comply to Connect) requirement (NSA Zero Trust Connection Requirement). It is a security framework that requires the implementation of Cisco ISE, IDS/IPS, next-generation firewalls, and other new networking tools.
