Secure, encrypted communication to military standards.
Secure Video Collaboration Keeps Military Departments Connected
Cisco video teleconferencing built to DISA STIG and FIPS requirements connected teams across rooms, buildings and home offices.
Client context
The work begins with the operating reality.
Client
Departments of the U.S. military that needed to keep collaborating while teams were distributed across multiple locations.
EngagementBlueAlly designed and deployed secure Cisco video teleconferencing that integrated with the departments' existing Cisco environment.
The challenge
What had to change
Existing systems supported in-person meetings but not secure remote video and audio across distributed sites. The departments needed frequent, collaborative meetings that could securely connect participants in different rooms, buildings and home offices, and every component had to meet military security standards.
The BlueAlly solution
How the work came together
BlueAlly interviewed stakeholders to define requirements such as video quality, active speaker tracking and secure content sharing, and confirmed the applicable security regulations. Building on the existing Cisco infrastructure, the team deployed Webex Room Kits, Webex Boards and video-enabled phones, using JITC-approved equipment from Cisco's Approved Products List. The design followed the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) Security Technical Implementation Guide and used FIPS 140-2 validated encryption.
The results
What changed
The departments can now connect teams across dispersed locations securely, with real-time collaboration, shared whiteboarding and smooth movement between voice and video, without compromising security or compliance.
Outcome highlights
What the client gained.
Integrated with existing Cisco infrastructure for immediate use.
Room Kits and Webex Boards for shared content and annotation.
Secure meetings from any approved location.
