Description

Systems or devices used for test data that do not meet minimum IA standards for accreditation are a risk to a DoD operational network if allowed to communicate between environments. Data that has not been fully tested and finalized for use in an operational network may cause unintended consequences, such as data loss or corruption. Unvetted data allowed into a DoD operational network from non-IA-compliant machines may also contain malicious code that could be used to steal or damage live data.
