| Requirement: The IAO will ensure that all DISA owned and operated DSN critical assets are registered with the DISA/DoD VMS as follows:
- All backbone switches (TSs, STPs, MFSs)
- All other switches (EOs, SMEOs, PBX1s, PBX2s and RSUs) owned by DISA
- All components of the ADIMSS
- All components of auxiliary/adjunct or peripheral systems owned by DISA
- All TSs or MFSs owned and operated by DOD components
Exception: This requirement is not applicable to systems owned, operated, and maintained by DOD components other than DISA such as EOs, SMEOs, PBX1s, PBX2s and RSUs or their OAM&P and auxiliary/adjunct or peripheral systems. See DSN02.02 below.The DISA/DoD VMS in conjunction with JTF-GNO sends out notifications on vulnerabilities (IAVMs) as they are discovered in commercial and military information infrastructures. If DSN assets and their SAs are not registered with the DISA/DoD VMS,, administrators will not be notified of important vulnerabilities such as viruses, denial of service attacks, system weaknesses, back doors and other potentially harmful situations. |
