Cloud Access Point
The Boundary Cloud Access Point (BCAP) or Cloud Access Point (CAP) is predetermined by
your organization. Therefore, it is not in the scope of this guide. The CAP provides
access to commercial cloud environments from the Defense Information Systems Network
(DISN). The CAP also provides boundary protection of DISN from the cloud. At the DISN
boundary, it includes cyber-defense capabilities, such as firewall, intrusion detection
systems (IDS), and intrusion prevention systems (IPS). It's common for organizations to
use the DoD Cloud Native Access Point Reference Design
