The internet-facing side of this is https://www.intelink.gov/, it uses DoD Root CA's though which won't be trusted in normal browsers.
Secured by... F5 APM? I always took that to be "Enterprise-Ticks-All-The-Boxes-Secure" not "Actually Meant to be Secure".
Since this is just going to be connected to DNI-U / NIPRNet at most, so only unclassified / sensitive but unclassified, it probably is more "Enterprise-Ticks-All-The-Boxes-Secure"
Intelligence community uses the least secure blogging platform. I can't tell if that's more of an indictment of US Intelligence, or blogging.
It's all based on PHP too. That's maybe indicative of the kind of talent and salaries the DoD can afford.
They need to pay more.
If there is one thing the US military lacks, its money.
That money isn't going to ICs.
there is a fair point to be made that the government pay scale doesn't go high enough - especially for IT. And that's one of the reasons (or excuses) to outsource so much to for profit consultancies which just adds margin on top.
Bet they also use non-powered hand tools and hammers with wooden handles. Savages.
We definitely only get wooden-handle hammers. They're considered commodity so it's "cheapest that gets the job done." I end up buying my own pens, note pads, etc. because the government ones are so bad. (It's possible I'm committing an ADA violation but I'm not a fiscal specialist so I'm not sure.)
Unless you can get access to the classified network it sits behind then it’s really a non-issue. They’ll have bigger problems at that point.
