| Information Dissemination Management (IDM) |
| Primary Purpose | Information Dissemination Management is the |
| subset of Information Management that addresses |
| awareness, access, and delivery of information. |
| Involves the compilation, cataloging, caching, |
| distribution, and retrieval of data. Getting the |
| information to the right place at the right |
| time. |
| Sub-Functions | IDM does not respond to or counter a |
| DIA-validated threat. However, as a service or |
| process IDM may reside on systems that are |
| vulnerable to current and future threats and |
| therefore, IDM will assume the same vulnerability |
| as the system. The IDM capability must be |
| provided in all types of environments throughout |
| the complete spectrum of operations. |
