Classifying and Protecting CUI with Azure Information Protection

How do you store data like Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) that is no longer behind your firewall or network secure? Labels are the Microsoft answer to the questions above. Instead of securing the container housing the data, labels secure the files or data itself, offering data-centric security. This security model uses encryption and classification to secure the data regardless of its location. Due to the rise of the mobile workforce, secure data perimeters no longer exist.

The cybersecurity requirements for the DoD are pretty elaborate since the security measures must address the information held by DoD and the Defense Industrial Base (DIB).

How Is Controlled Unclassified Information Changing?
Certainly, it sounds official and has all the makings for a Jason Bourne-style thriller about espionage and government conspiracies. It also could make a good title for the next hit crime series if placed before the name of a racy city. Its history of more mysterious aliases such as “sensitive but unclassified,” “official use only,” and “law enforcement sensitive” only makes it more intriguing. But what is CUI? Should your company even care about it?

The Importance of ITAR Compliant Cloud Services for Defense and Aerospace Industries

Introduction
The International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) is a set of United States government regulations that control the export and import of defense-related articles, services, and technology on the United States Munitions List (USML). ITAR is designed to protect national security and maintain US technological leadership in defense and aerospace industries. ITAR compliance is critical for companies in these industries to avoid violations and penalties, maintain competitiveness, and protect sensitive information and technology. Companies that violate ITAR regulations can face significant fines and penalties, including the loss of export privileges and even criminal charges.
