One of the more informed articles I've seen on the topic today
Pentagon approves use of advanced devices from Apple and others -- but don't expect quick change
First, the guide — called a Security Technical Implementation Guide, or STIG for short — covers only government-issued phones and tablets. With Pentagon budgets constricted by sequestration, will purchasing managers rush to buy the latest touch-screen phones to replace the current generation of arguably obsolete but still perfectly usable DOD Blackberries?
One thing is certain: DOD personnel aren’t authorized to take matters into their own hands.
“People are in no way allowed to go out and buy a mobility device and connect it to a DOD network,” Casanova warned.
And..
But DISA is putting a new process in place to accelerate approval of new systems. Essentially, the Pentagon is beginning to let technology vendors write the STIGs with oversight from DOD experts who ensure the guides meet security standards.
