Oracle announced on March 31 its Defense Industrial Base Isolated Cloud Environment, a new, secure isolated cloud deployment option. With this new cloud environment, defense contractors can collaborate more effectively within air-gapped Oracle National Security Regions that are designed to meet the highest U.S. government classification standards.
The Defense Industrial Base is comprised of thousands of defense contractors and partners that design, develop, and manufacture combat mission systems, platforms, and technologies that are essential to the US military’s digital strength. These organizations require secure environments to conduct classified research and development, system integration, testing and evaluation, and mission support activities for Department of War programs across all warfighting domains. With the Defense Industrial Base Isolated Cloud, these organizations can now access Oracle’s isolated cloud infrastructure while maintaining strict compliance with Department of War security standards and classification protocols.
DICE enables the expansion of existing on-premises classified independent research and development environments into Oracle Cloud Infrastructure while ensuring the boundaries of the Secret Internet Protocol Router Network (SIPRNet) and the Joint Worldwide Intelligence Communications System (JWICS) are respected. Critically, the new cloud environment allows multiple Defense Industry Base members to collaborate securely on joint classified programs. In addition, DICE will help accelerate program timelines and enhance mission effectiveness by providing users with granular access controls to workloads and resources within isolated environments.
“The Defense Industrial Base Isolated Cloud Environment represents our unwavering commitment to both the Department of War and its partners who develop the combat systems that protect our nation and support our warfighters worldwide,” said Kim Lynch, executive vice president, government, defense and intelligence, Oracle. “The ability for multiple defense contractors to collaborate securely on classified programs is essential to maintaining US technological superiority during this time of increased strategic competition.”
