Next Generation Enterprise Network

The Next Generation Enterprise Network (NGEN) baseline will include the services currently offered on NMCI. NGEN will be an enterprise network that will provide secure, net-centric data and services to Navy and Marine Corps personnel. NGEN forms the foundation for the DON’s future Naval Network Environment (NNE) that will be interoperable with other Department of Defense (DoD) provided Net-Centric Enterprise Services. UNCLAS

What is Network C2?

NetOps Framework

UNCLAS

Unified C2

Exerting Control over IT Services IT Service Management

NetOps functions are mapped to a framework for IT Service Management. The advantage of mapping the NetOps mission essential tasks into this framework is that processes, functions, and terminology are clearly defined and provide a common lexicon to describe NetOps processes and functions to vendors/contractors.

•

IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL). ITIL will be used for individual certifications and to describe NetOps processes.

•

ISO 20000. ISO 20000 compliance check sheet will be used to certify a command. ISO 20000 is fully consistent with the ITIL framework.

Objective: Define critical NetOps control functions within an IT service management framework Network Control

NetOps requires the ability to direct and manage available resources, or allocate them to specific missions. The ability to exert control over these resources enables command functions, which is the ability to direct changes to resources as necessary to achieve a desired result within a specified timeframe.

•

Network control is achieved with the ability to:

–

Prioritize responses to events/incidents/problems using

–

event/incident/problem management processes Closure of events and incidents using event and

– –

incident management processes Establish policies and direct changes in response to cyber threats or attacks using information security management processes Direct move, add, changes (MACs) using change

– –

management processes Grant/revoke access to IT services using access management processes Establish criteria for and/or direct the implementation of continuity of operations activities using IT service continuity management processes

Shared Situational Awareness

Shared situational awareness

Near real time information on the status of IT services and supported commands improves the quality and timeliness of collaborative decision-making regarding the employment, protection and defense of the network

•

Situational Awareness is achieved with:

–

Service level status from service level management processes

–

Threat reporting from information security management processes

–

Vulnerability assessment from information

– –

security management processes Event/Incident/Problem status from event/incident/problem management processes GIG/Service network status

Objective: A common set of reporting procedures, tools, and standards to share situational awareness information in near real-time with relevant decision-makers.

Network Common Operational Picture (NETCOP) synthesizes current performance of IT services, operations, and threats into an integrated picture that supports both NetOps commanders as well as operational commanders by reporting the status, threat, vulnerability, and mission impact of degradation in a manner tailored to their areas of responsibility/interest.

NETWARCOM Role During Transition

NGEN Fleet Implementation and Transition Team (FITT)

•

Mission Statement: The NGEN FITT exists to develop, maintain and promulgate a coordinated executable strategy to ensure effective transition from NMCI to NGEN

• •

Purpose:

–

Support the short- and long-term goals and objectives of the Naval Networking Environment (NNE) 2016 Strategy

–

Provide guidance and assistance to transition from NMCI to NGEN

–

Act as the NGEN Stakeholder Communications Lead for the Fleet

–

Persistent NNWC LNO physically located at the SPO Objectives:

–

Define detailed Command and Control (C2) functions through Early Transition Activities (ETA)

–

Prevent network disruptions during roll-out

–

Develop operational and user processes and coordinate training

–

Minimize impact on DON warfighter mission and users UNCLAS

NETWARCOM Role During Transition

NGEN Fleet Implementation and Transition Team (FITT)

• •

Stand-up Global Network C2 structure for NGEN Developing the personnel, processes and tools needed to support NGEN NetOps requirements and capabilities

– – – –

Visibility into the health and status of NGEN operations Ability to associate performance issues with specific NGEN segment Focus on network defense activities Development of tools and processes to exercise C2 over NGEN

•

Implement global, regional, and local NetOps authorities under NGEN as documented in the signed NGEN NetOps CONOPS NetOps CONOPS signed by VADM Starling (NETWARCOM), VADM Edwards (OPNAV N6), and BGEN Allen (HQMC C4) UNCLAS

Summary

•

Starting with NGEN, DON is working towards implementing the NNE

•

NETWARCOM’s FITT is leading operational transition from NMCI to NGEN

•

Three major pre-Transition efforts will effect NETWARCOM and its Commanders

–

Stand-up of the Global NetOps C2 structure for NGEN

–

Development of People, Processes and Tools for operational control

–

Implementation of Open Standards for IT Service Management (ITSM) and employment of industry-proven ITIL framework NETWARCOM and its Commanders will retain Operational C2 of the network under NGEN. Preparation starts now.
