  • Introduction to Design and Development Process for Assured Software – DoD Software Assurance Community of Practice: Volume 1

    Software is ubiquitous. It is at the core of every deployed critical system in the DoD (and our society for that matter). As our systems become more complex and the software that supports these systems explodes in size, our adversaries are presented with an ever increasing attack surface which they have repeatedly demonstrated the capability to exploit.

  • Introduction: Insider Threat and the Malicious Insider Threat – Analyze. Deter. Discover. Prevent. Respond

    Any collaboration between people in a group requires a certain degree of trust to be successful. Whether in financial, political, military, or social situations, the ability to trust those around you is a primary enabling factor to success. Misuse of that trust to gain advantage for purposes counter to the group’s success can also be a primary factor in the group’s failure. For the last few decades in the cybersecurity realm, the term “Insider Threat” has been used to identify individuals or entities that misuse some level of trust gained within an organization to adversely use information or information systems to the detriment of the organization.

  • CSIAC Webinars » A Fistful of Data, or the Good, Bad and Ugly of Adversarial Machine Learning

    This webinar provides an overview of Adversarial Machine Learning (AML), its relationship to Generative (Deep) Learning, and ways to view AML as a potential enabler for deploying more comprehensive system-level Machine Learning capabilities. The basic ideas driving AML and the system-level architecture needs of an effective integrated ML capability are compared to find areas of commonality and future utility beyond single-shot, algorithm-by-algorithm approaches to AML and remediation techniques.

CSIAC Report - Smart Cities, Smart Bases and Secure Cloud Architecture for Resiliency by Design

Integration of Smart City Technologies to create Smart Bases for DoD will require due diligence with respect to the security of the data produced by Internet of Things (IOT) and Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT). This will increase more so with the rollout of 5G and increased automation "at the edge". Commercially, data will be moving to the cloud first, and then stored for process improvement analysis by end-users. As such, implementation of Secure Cloud Architectures is a must. This report provides some use cases and a description of a risk based approach to cloud data security. Clear understanding, adaptation, and implementation of a secure cloud framework will provide the military the means to make progress in becoming a smart military.
