3 Situational Awareness -Definition Mica Endsley s* three levels of situational awareness First level Perception of information being able to see information about your environment Second level Comprehension of meaning Understanding what the data means to your environment - Third level Projection of the situation over time being able to project potential courses of action and their impacts within your environment NetOps Situational Awareness - NetOps tasks and sub-tasks - Mission relevance such as mission impacts - Battle space and cyberspace perspectives - Tailored to user * Wikipedia Integration Storage Access Discovery Delivery GCM GEM GND Information Assurance CND CND-RA Defense of CIP 3 Copyright 17/01/2011 BMC Software, Inc 3

4 Brigade-Level NetOps Situational Awareness Problem: - Lack a mission oriented NetOps Situational Awareness capability that links and correlates IT infrastructure to mission execution requirements Therefore, they do not have the ability to see how IT infrastructure is impacting their mission execution Objectives: - Developed a prototype mission oriented NetOps SA capability with BMC s BSM Enable Commanders and S-6 to see the dependencies between IT components performance / availability and their mission execution Leverage available COTS products to generate and share NetOps SA data 4 Copyright 17/01/2011 BMC Software, Inc 4

5 Business Service Management (BSM) A strategy and an approach for linking key IT components to the goals of the business. It enables you to understand and predict how technology impacts the business and how business impacts the IT infrastructure (Source Bitpipe.com) - Transforms IT into a critical enabler of business goals Public Sector translation is Mission Critical Components - Business/mission processes that are defined and understood - Mission relevant situational awareness - IT Service Management (ITSM) capabilities - Configuration Management Database (CMDB) Transform IT into a critical business partner & enabler 5 Copyright 17/01/2011 BMC Software, Inc 5

6 Defining BSM: IT with Business Service Management CAPACITY INCIDENT SERVICE REQUEST DATA SERVICE LEVEL RELEASE EVENT AND IMPACT BSM GOVERNANCE AND COMPLIANCE ASSET CONFIGURATION AUTOMATION DASHBOARDS ENTERPRISE SCHEDULING PERFORMANCE & AVAILABILITY CHANGE 6 Copyright 17/01/2011 BMC Software, Inc

7 Applying BSM to Situational Awareness Commander and Mission focused vs IT technology focused - Commander is the primary user - Focused on how IT services impact the commander s ability to perform their duties (e.g. CPOF down limits C2 ability, Messaging Service, or collaboration services) Organizational NetOps vs system/program specific NetOps - Linkage to mission requires information from both network, systems, applications, services, etc - Operational NetOps requires operators to understand many relationships The network is an enabler for many IT services, how it affects them is different COTS vs GOTS - Commercial industry is beginning to use COTS products for their own SA - Leverage COTS product BSM capabilities 7 Copyright 17/01/2011 BMC Software, Inc 7
