Abstract :
The current trend for the communication of C4I information is a shift from point-to-point, closed, dedicated networks to the use of distributed, open, commercial networks. The threats and vulnerabilities that existed in the closed environment are different in scope and type from those that exist in the open environment. The operational environments also present different challenges to the security conscious. For this reason, mitigation techniques need to be refined and updated to reflect new risks to C4I and sensitive information. Finally, the operations that support the mitigation of risk in the open and closed environment have to be handled differently
