 LIQUIDWARE ALIGNS WITH DISA 2022-2024 STRATEGIC PLAN

The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) is a U.S combat support agency that connects the U.S military and government though IT and communications support. DISA’s Strategic Plan focuses on utilizing innovative technology to support  current and next-generation warfighters. DISA is examining alternatives that will allow the agency to heighten security while raising the bar on user experience by providing high performance, anywhere, anytime workspaces. The plan calls for investing in commercial cloud capabilities to build enterprise identity and authentication solutions for DOD cloud environments yet optimize accessibility of data and applications to end users. Additional goals include incorporating DCO continuous monitoring into the accreditation process to move the Department to a continuous authorization to operate (ATO) and to ruthlessly identify and remove inefficient policies, technologies and artificial barriers that inhibit best value.

Key objectives included in the Lines of Effort  from DISA’s Strategic Plan include:

  • The Joint Warfighting Cloud Capability (JWCC) is seeking to create a multi-vendor acquisition vehicle that the greater DOD can leverage to obtain services directly from commercial cloud service providers.
  • Transforming traditional hosting capabilities and delivering streamlined alternatives to accelerate the Department’s adoption of cloud, delivering capability at all classification levels.
  • Facilitating migration from legacy enterprise services to sunset them and will explore ways to  gain near real-time visibility of network and application performance for mission partners.
  • Delivering modern secure IT solutions that facilitate delivery of DOD mission applications to endpoints at all classification levels.

Overall, Liquidware products offer a comprehensive range of security features and capabilities that can help organizations to align with DISA's objectives.

  • Our solutions are platform-agnostic, supporting seamless co-existence among leading vendors’ offerings including Microsoft Azure and Amazon cloud desktops, and VMware and Citrix virtual desktops.
  • Our solutions support security practices with proactive real-time monitoring, user policy control, deep visibility into the user experience and packaged application delivery.
  • Liquidware products can be used to identify bad practices or builds, to discover idle or inefficient operations, and to support re-engineering these to next generation architectures of cutting-edge technologies.
  • Our solutions provide highly accurate user experience quality measurements for the spectrum of user classifications, including  onsite, remote, mobile, extended (outside entities providing services) with the goal of optimizing access to needed data and applications.

LIQUIDWARE PRODUCTS OVERVIEW

Liquidware Stratusphere UX can identify outmoded implementations that impede performance that need to be eliminated or re-engineered. This solution’s data can drive decision-making to deliver optimum performing cloud implementations yet minimize both acquisition (rightsizing)  and operating costs (monitoring on/off machines.) In addition, this solution provides detailed insights into all levels of the workspaces’ infrastructure. Stratusphere UX is used to monitor and diagnose workspace environments for troubleshooting configuration, resources, and applications issues as well as security vulnerabilities.

Liquidware CommandCTRL provides real-time visibility to ongoing activities of users in workspace environment, providing proactive monitoring and instant issue remediation. This solution is SaaS-based, thereby reducing the time to fully utilize the product by eliminating set up and training time.

Liquidware ProfileUnity can be used to create and manage user profiles to remain compliant with DISA's security requirements. It can also be used to enforce other user policies and restrictions across all types of Windows workspaces, including physical, virtual, and cloud.

Liquidware FlexApp can be leveraged to deliver applications to users in a secure manner as it packages  them in containers. This function not only allows for on-demand delivery of applications to users, but it also centralizes applications to storage for easier, more comprehensive monitoring and maintenance. FlexApp enhances  Microsoft Azure environments by converting MSIX or App-V applications to layers.

SECURITY POLICIES FOR FEDERAL AGENCIES
