Part of DoDIN-A operations focus on multiple dispersed, independent / intra-dependent systems performing multiple functions (Operating System (OS), Hardware (HW), database, software applications, etc.) that are interoperable with other elements or systems to perform a function as part of a larger, more complex system. The GCC operates, monitors, sustains, and secures Enterprise directed systems throughout the GCC AOR and internal services.

  • Sensor Operation and Management. The GCC uses network and host monitoring systems (IPS / IDS, SIEM, and other sensor systems) to monitor, detect, identify, verify, and report security events.

Historically, the SIEM aggregates 50 million security events per day from multiple sources including IPS, IDS, Firewalls, Proxies, Routers, HBSS, and server system logs. As technology evolves, other sources may be added (i.e. Active Directory domain controllers, DNS servers, etc.).
  • Develop and document disaster recovery procedures for GCC managed sensors, including IPS / IDS, system baseline tools (e.g., ESM), host-based systems and agents, server managers, applications, and remote management systems. Disaster recovery procedures shall be stored in the current Government-approved data repository.
  • Establish and maintain written procedures to set up, track, and document status and location of hardware and software for each baseline of sensors. Procedures shall be stored in the current Government-approved data repository.
