PPSM Home
The DoD Ports, Protocols, and Services Management (PPSM) program provides implementation guidance on the use of IP protocols and application and data services that traverse the DoD Networks in a manner that supports net-centric operations. The PPSM program also provides vulnerability and risk assessment information, compliance guidance, and technical assistance to achieve compliance for all information systems, applications, and services connected to the Global Information Grid (GIG). This type of support is given to senior DoD security officials, the intelligence community, and network administrators.
The PPSM program maintains a central registry database to track the Ports, Protocols, and Services (PPS) used by each DoD Automated Information System (AIS). It also assesses and evaluates the inherent vulnerabilities associated with the use of specific PPS across network boundaries. In addition, the PPSM program aims to ensure that use of PPS on DoD networks are controlled and regulated, safeguarding DoD operations and interests while ensuring both the interoperability of joint applications and the security of the overall DoD information infrastructure.
