DISA grants milCloud 2.0 provisional authority to host highly sensitive data

FedScoop: Defense Department components are now able to use the agency’s newest cloud computing infrastructure to process highly sensitive information.

The Defense Information Systems Agency granted milCloud 2.0 provisional authority for impact level 5 data Monday, allowing the CSRA-designed cloud service platform to access and host controlled unclassified information, mission critical information and national security systems. Level 5 is the most sensitive classification of unclassified DOD data.

DISA officials said the provisional authority to operate gives milCloud 2.0 a year-long conditional authorization that “ushers the way for early adopters to connect to and run in the DOD, on-premises, private community cloud environment.”
