Efforts to engage and manage cloud computing within the DoD are occurring in a decentralized fashion and without specific regulations to perpetuate greater cost-efficiency. There is more urgency than ever to reduce defense spending, and cloud computing has been agreed upon almost unanimously as an ideal way to reduce costs and maintain relevance.

Thus, it is important to have the different agencies dialoguing with one another to cohesively support and advance these endeavors. This premier marcus evans meeting will strive to address cloud computing in light of confidentiality, integrity and availability as necessary to achieve DoD mission success.
