Secure Information Sharing for the Department of DefenseThe role of information and the need to share it quickly has become critical in light of modern asymmetric warfare. Opponents make up for in chaotic surprise and shadowy operation what they lack in scale and concentration of force. A willingness to pursue any kind of violence against any kind of target is a redefinition making continuous military operation by a single nation against such forces impractical. Modern warfare involves gathering and disseminating information as an operational necessity. "This is a conflict without battlefields or beachheads, a conflict with opponents who believe they are invisible." In asymmetric war, small-scale aggressors with extremely short decision cycles are able to conduct effect-based campaigns built around large numbers of apparently random actions that can consume disproportionate attention and resources in the response. Decision superiority has become more critical than ever. Rapid, coordinated, and secure support for dynamic communities of interest represents the most effective strategy for resolving conflict on the information-driven battlefield. Horizontal Fusion demonstrates the power and value of secure information sharing technology. Get Started with Information Sharing How do you get started sharing information?

Innovation by Portfolio Management By aligning carefully with strategic goals and mission impact, the details of compliance and interoperation can be managed by those closest to the work. This reduces needless replication of tasks that may be of inconsistent fit or value when moving from one organization to the next. Portfolio management offers several key advantages.
