“We demonstrated a migrated and containerized application server at NetModX 21,” Geck said, in reference to the centerpiece of the Army’s campaign of learning, designed to aggressively advance and integrate the Army’s contributions to the Joint Force.

The modular qualities of the containers also help to reduce the “attack surface” of the technology it is housed in, closing off the avenues adversaries can take to infiltrate the system.Ĭ5ISR Center engineers conduct routine software testing. “So instead of having these massive, several gigabyte files, it may come down to a couple hundred megabytes,” Shahid said.Īpplication security containers are one of several promising new security technologies. Shahid said the modularity of the containers removes unnecessary software and applications from the system and only stores “the key information that’s different from a normal computer,” reducing the size, weight and power required to run the system. Humza Shahid, a C5ISR Center engineer working the effort, compared the containers to virtual machines – a virtual computer within a computer. In addition to making systems more resilient to hardware and software failures, Geck said application security containers will deny malicious actors from gaining access to the computer networks through backdoor channels as well as simplify the system troubleshooting process between engineers and system operators. “Application security containers are one of the fundamental building blocks to modern cloud computing infrastructure, and are one of the foundational elements to start building applications in the future,” said Frank Geck, one of the C5ISR Center engineers leading the effort. Army engineers are using containerized software to strengthen the Army’s networks.Įngineers of the Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C5ISR) Center - a component of Army Futures Command’s Combat Capabilities Development Command - are developing application security containers to protect the Army’s networks from hardware and software failures.
