New software being tested by U.S. Central Command would enable military computers for the first time ever to be connected at the same time to both classified and unclassified networks -- including the public Internet.
Officials say the technology, if it proves secure, could save more than $200 million for CENTCOM and eliminate the need to use work-arounds like thumb drives to move data between networks containing different levels of classified information.
Even in the Defense Dept., $200 million is a lot of money. And it sounds more secure than thumb drives, which are so easy to duplicate/steal/lose.
