"Agree. Gemalto got the SIPRNET. McAfee & Gallagher got the rest. Please review the McAfee PR expected outcomes/capabilities section and the Gallagher PR (essentially) You want coverage? Then you must use SFOR IP! Like you wrote deals like those are what "will provide the main course of the year!" Smart move on Mark's part to stick to the knitting for now. The big fish, Duo, is stayed for now. Until the Alice mess is cleaned up. That's fine by me."

The Secret Internet Protocol Router Network (SIPRNet) is "a system of interconnected computer networks used by the U.S. Department of Defense and the U.S. Department of State to transmit classified information (up to and including information classified SECRET) by packet switching over the 'completely secure' environment". It also provides services such as hypertext document access and electronic mail. As such, SIPRNet is the DoD's classified version of the civilian Internet.
SIPRNet is the SECRET component of the Defense Information Systems Network. Other components handle communications with other security needs, such as the NIPRNet, which is used for nonsecure communications, and the Joint Worldwide Intelligence Communications System (JWICS), which is used for Top Secret communications.
According to the U.S. Department of State Web Development Handbook, domain structure and naming conventions are the same as for the open internet, except for the addition of a second-level domain, like, e.g., "sgov" between state and gov: openforum.state.sgov.gov. Files originating from SIPRNet are marked by a header tag "SIPDIS" (SIPrnet DIStribution). A corresponding second-level domain smil.mil exists for DoD users.
Access is also available to a "...small pool of trusted allies, including Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom and New Zealand...". This group (including the US) is known as the Five Eyes.
SIPRNet was one of the networks accessed by Chelsea Manning, convicted of leaking the video used in WikiLeaks' "Collateral Murder" release as well as the source of the US diplomatic cables published by WikiLeaks in November 2000.
Joint Worldwide Intelligence Communications System
Behind the Green Door secure communications center with SIPRNET, NMIS/GWAN, NSANET, and JWICS access
The Joint Worldwide Intelligence Communications System (JWICS), pronounced "JAYwicks", is a Top Secret/SCI network run by the United States' Defense Intelligence Agency and used across the Department of Defense, Department of State, Department of Homeland Security and Department of Justice to transmit especially sensitive classified information.
In other words, JWICS is DoD's Top Secret intranet together with its Secret counterpart, SIPRNet. JWICS superseded the earlier DSNET2 and DSNET3, the Top Secret and SCI levels of the Defense Data Network based on ARPANET technology.
In day-to-day usage, the JWICS is used primarily by members of the Intelligence Community, such as the DIA within the DoD, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation under the Justice Department. Conversely, SIPRNet and NIPRNet comprise the overwhelming bulk of usage within DoD and non-intelligence government agencies and departments.
JWICS was allegedly one of the networks accessed by Chelsea Manning, who in 2010 leaked massive amounts of classified material, including the video used in WikiLeaks' Collateral Murder and US diplomatic cables.
