Design Question: How might we accelerate the implementation of the Risk Management Framework (RMF) to a velocity more compatible with warfighter needs and modern DevOps methods for federal information systems including IT, OT, and Platform IT.

When? April 9-13, 2018

Where? CyberWorx Design Studio at the US Air Force Academy

Why get involved? The intent of this project is to provide a better way for mission owners to effectively manage risk, make risk-informed cybersecurity investment decisions, and protect the crown jewels that enable successful execution of the their core missions at modern cyber velocities. This advancement will not only provide benefits to the warfighter, but all affected by the RMF structure.

Who should get involved? We are looking for industry participants to bring their experience and expertise in risk-based decision making regarding the organizational information systems supporting their core missions and business functions and well as the implementation and integration of information security into the enterprise architecture and system development life cycle.

Project: Cyber Risk Dashboard is a paradigm-shifting cybersecurity project initially conceived as part of a CyberWorx design-thinking project that took place in Fall 2016

What is the Cyber Risk Dashboard? 

The Cyber Disk Dashboard leverages the principles of crowdsourcing data in a unique approach to cybersecurity partially based on the cutting-edge work being done in virtual reality simulation by LinQuest Corporation.  Boecore is contributing their expertise by building out dashboards and databases while MTSi will be providing the interfaces and various applications, such as a chat feature to facilitate communications among the “crowd.”

Goals of the Project? 

This intensive collaboration between C-TRAC and these three local technology stars is expected to result in an all-new, high-level counterattack against the bad actors currently driving a multitude of cyber threats, an exciting, much-needed escalation in the ongoing battle for security in cyberspace.

Industry Partner Collaboration

Following their participation in the Fall 2016 semester project, Boecore, LinQuest Corporation, and Modern Technology Solutions, Inc. (MTSi) have been awarded R&D funds to foster collaboration and work to further develop the Dashboard under contract with CyberWorx.
