The 688th Cyberspace Operations Wing is enforcing the Department of Defense's Comply to Connect (C2C) cybersecurity framework, focusing first on non-compliant hardware, followed by software. The rollout began on July 8, 2026, with an expected compliance deadline of June 2026, although challenges in military IT systems persist.
The C2C standard, part of the broader Zero Trust framework initiated by a 2021 executive order, aims to block non-compliant devices and programs. Starting in August, automated application whitelisting will be implemented to ensure only authorized users and software can operate on the network. This dual approach is intended to mitigate vulnerabilities exacerbated by generative AI technologies, thereby enhancing the security posture of Air Force networks.
