Security domains partition military Communications and Information Systems (CIS) to enable the handling of data payloads at different confidentiality levels. Information exchange between security domains is in most cases extremely restrictive or even entirely prohibited. While this protection principle holds for user traffic, it significantly hinders the unified management of networks and IT systems from a single platform. The current paper addresses this problem by introducing a vendor-agnostic method to interface management traffic across domain boundaries, and presents the results of a trial conducted at NATO Response Force CIS Exercise Steadfast Cobalt 2013.
