DITSCAP - DoD's Answer to Secure Systems

The majority of you will ask yourself a few simple questions ' why?... Why should I care? Why should I be concerned or interested in reading about a government bureaucratic process?' Another group may ask 'how can I get my share of the pie.' The security professional's question might be 'how can I leverage the government's work for my own benefit?' A final group may shrug it off and say it will never impact me. A simple answer would be it's your money to the tune of several billion dollars per year! The intent of this paper is to provide insight into a process that is rapidly being adapted in part or as a whole by an increasing number of local governments the medical industry and corporate America. After all 'a risk assumed by one is imposed on all' is never more true than in today's increasingly interrelated world.
