Expert knowledge is difficult to capture and transfer effectively, because it involves deeply embedded skills that an expert may not be consciously aware of using and may not understand how to share. The challenge this poses is how to capture and transfer that knowledge among co-workers and external partners who need to work together on critical, high-stakes projects. Without effective knowledge transfer strategies, these valuable lessons learned and best practices are often lost. This knowledge is essential to the success of the mission, especially in emergency situations such as responses to natural disaster events that are time critical. This master...

Process change is part of what Knowledge Managers do. Knowledge Managers examine a process that is in place or create a new one from many. Either way, Knowledge Managers change an area for the better typically. Sometimes a process change is so radical that it breaks along the human lines. Any process change or tool built needs to examine the human effect and want.
The metric analysis must be done on all process elements: human, process/procedures, tools, and how they benefit the organization's bottom line. This is the driving force behind knowledge management as it directly influences the organization's bottom...

Zero Trust is not just another buzzword in a never-ending list of tech trends. The principles of zero trust eliminates the binary trust/don't trust approach applied to users and assets in yesterday's on-premises, perimeter-centric environments.
According to a recent survey, 100% of U.S. Federal Government agencies are storing sensitive data in third-party cloud, mobile, social, big data and IoT platforms, which inherently makes data vulnerable. Traditional perimeter protection does not protect off-premise data, which speaks to the need to take a zero trust approach to data security.

Recent advances in homomorphic encryption (HE), a pillar of the increasingly important technology category known as Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PETs), are changing the paradigm of secure data usage for mission use cases. HE protects data while it’s being used or processed by allowing computations to occur in the encrypted or ciphertext domain, and most of the primitives that are currently used for HE are resistant to hypothesized quantum computing attacks. These powerful capabilities have led to HE being referred to as the “holy grail” of cryptography and are why it has been the subject of research and academic pursuit for...

A zero-trust design strategy based on a platform-approach that constantly enforces least-privilege access from edge to hybrid multi-cloud is the operational outcome for a software-defined network that satisfies Commander's Intent for Cybersecurity and DoD Network Operations. Implementing the Commander’s Intent for Cybersecurity means applying, monitoring, and enforcing network controls as operational policy—including DoD Comply-to-Connect (C2C) requirements and integrating all network controlling actions across the enterprise from users/endpoints to data and applications—no matter where they reside. By implementing Commander’s Intent for Cybersecurity, operations on DoD networks can be transformed into a real-time, network operational platform capability.

Edge computing provides the opportunity to transform DoD application delivery, offering localized data analysis, artificial intelligence, process automation and other digital capabilities. This is in contrast to current GovCloud-based infrastructure offerings that rely on centralized architectures built only on US soil. The drawback of centralized architectures is that they cannot cost-effectively support the ultra-low latency and extreme throughput demanded by localized workloads at the edge. Instead, cloud capabilities should be localized at the source of business data to form an edge cloud, which places computing, storage and networking resources where the data is sourced—at the edge of the network.

Zero Trust is what it sounds like. It is a security framework that operates on the tenant that no actor, system, network, or service operating outside or within the security perimeter is trusted. Instead, we must verify anything and everything attempting to establish access. This is a dramatic paradigm shift in philosophy of how we secure our infrastructure, networks, and data, from verify once at the perimeter to continual verification of each user, device, application, and transaction.

As workloads and services move to public cloud infrastructure, we gain efficiencies of scale by centralizing our services. But, a global force, changing network conditions, real-world events, and evolving threats can necessitate the movement of workloads closer to the edge to enable high availability of services.
DISA needs approaches that intelligently move workloads from central cloud locations to edge computing environments on-demand, to enable secure multi-mission workloads and to facilitate the best user experience.
What’s needed is a militarized and ruggedized high-performance edge platform that enables organizations to rapidly deploy remote data capture and analytics at the cloud edge.
Processing data at the...

Knowledge Management is the foundation for successful Artificial Intelligence (AI). From designing business processes that are reflective of the organization’s people, content, and culture to integrating structured and unstructured information within an organization’s data model, both are equally important for promoting knowledge transparency, findability, and higher-level, strategic thinking.
In this presentation, Michelle Padgett and Madison Jaronski will share the story of how Defense Security Cooperation KM is setting conditions that will drive AI culture and competitive advantage required for future operations. DSCA recognizes that failure to adopt AI will result in irrelevant, siloed legacy systems, erosion of cohesion among allies...

The Department of Defense (DoD) has been engaged in a multi-year cloud first strategy and has been steadily migrating applications and services to public and private clouds. These cloud environments offer ubiquitous, inexpensive, and scalable compute, but with geo-political challenges and the need to support mission critical operations globally, a solution to intelligently move applications and data between regional clouds and to the tactical edge is required to ensure access applications and data at the point of need. Network quality and the capability to reach back to enterprise clouds degrades rapidly as forces deploy, and at a certain point it...

No situations are risk free!
Implementing risk management is a key to good decision-making and is essential for strong cybersecurity.
For wise policy, engineering, and operations, leaders must understand vulnerabilities and mitigation options. Join senior leaders in cybersecurity to learn about risk management challenges and opportunities they have faced, including security, privacy, and cyber supply chain risk management activities. Discussion will center on the NIST Risk Management Framework, which can be applied to all types of system or technology, including the Internet of Things and control systems,...

To achieve highest efficiency for computation specialized hardware namely Fixed Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) or Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) are used to reduce the SWAP of a system. While this hardware has been effective, the consumer market products have encroached on their performance per watt with the rise of high-performance Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) architectures. This coupled with the ease of programing SIMD architectures make them a viable platform for development of a new low SWAP encryption platforms. Additionally, recent advances in tensor-based error correcting algorithms have pushed the boundary of compute per watt. These advances allow for a...

DoD Cloud Acceleration is in a continued state of expansion, most recently with the introduction of the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) Hosting and Compute Center (HaCC)’s Containers as a Service (CaaS) and the continuation of Infrastructure as Code (IaC). With the pilot of CaaS’, on-prem, OpenShift containers, the HaCC explores the speed at which previously individually configured and deployed webservers can be utilized in compact environments and applications. These compact environments have allowed for increased portability, less ramp up time and overall lower costs to adoption. Similarly, the IaC program has provided preconfigured templates to create secure cloud environments,...
