Research Initiatives – Advances for Government and Industry CERTS Workshop 2: Research Initiatives – Advances for Government and Industry Chair: AM COL Dan Bennett, Army Cyber Institute PM COL (Ret) Eric Toler, Georgia Cyber Center

Research Initiatives – Advances for Government and Industry  Challenge Area Topic: Challenges of applying research from Government and Industry within the academic environment. * How do we take research initiatives driven from the challenges that exist within government and industry and get at both of those in academia. * How do we know what those are in the first place and also better understand the parallel challenges between government and industry * How do we know who is doing what research and where in order to help mitigate duplicative efforts * How do we prioritize the challenges and build efficiencies across all of the entities represented here and far.

Research Initiatives – Advances for Government and Industry: Sub Groups Challenges of applying research from government and industry within the academic environment —led by COL Thomas E. “Eric” Toler (Ret), EXDIR Georgia Cyber Center Challenges of prioritizing and developing cyber solutions and training the cyber workforce —Led by CDR Pablo Breuer, SOFWERX Innovation Officer Leveraging Industry Cyber Learning Objectives for Multi-Domain Operations Training for Warfighters —Led by LTC William “Bill” Platte (Ret), VP Mod & Sim and Business Development, Metova

Subgroup 1: Partnership Opportunites What are the largest constraints to government and private industry’s ability to conduct collaborative research with universities (e.g. security classification, proprietary/intellectual property concerns, policy limitations, cost, timeliness, etc.)? What are the best practices to facilitate collaborative research between government, private industry, and academia (e.g. internships, symposiums, grants, CAEs, etc.)? What are some current opportunities for government and private industry to conduct collaborative research with academic institutions?

Subgroup 2: Prioritizing solutions, training Challenges recruiting, retaining, and promoting the cyber workforce Challenges with defining and prioritizing cyber requirements Challenges maintaining proficiency in the cyber workforce

Subgroup 3: Leveraging Industry for Multi-Domain Operations Training Translating Cyber Learning to Warfighter Training Cyber Effects/Outcomes for the Warfighter Training for Cyber in the Escalation of Conflict

Group 1 Co- Chair: COL (Ret) Eric Toler, Georgia Cyber Center Subgroup 1: Challenges of applying research from government and industry within the academic environment PROBLEM: The research efforts between academia industry, industry, and government are not coordinated in a manner that will allow us to compete with our adversaries over the next 10 years. Challenges: Constantly evolving requirements / lack of threat understanding Stovepipe structure Competitive culture drives us apart Information protection concerns Opportunities: States have an opportunity to lead in this field Resources already available Adopt a Development and Operations (DEVOPS) approach to research and development Align university research to real-world cyber security challenges (internships) Public-Private Partnerships

Group 2 Co-Chair: Pablo Breuer, SOFWERX Subgroup 2: Challenges of prioritizing and developing cyber solutions and training the cyber workforce Requirement definitions need to improve in order to allow for rapid innovation and support Ensure input from the users (i.e. JRPs) Include computer security professionals early on in development Update the FAR Mandate open standards Allow for a more collaborative environments UCC should set the priority Leverage/ coordinate/different exercises/ events into a “DefenseWerx” construct

Group 2 Co-Chair: Pablo Breuer, SOFWERX Subgroup 2: Recruitment, training and retention of Cyber Forces Defined career progression Not required to leave the cyber field to get promoted Investment: Education, continual training and training with industry opportunities=====Follow on assignment to jobs that utilize this training (don’t just fill a slot) Accelerated promotion schedule FUN JOBS Recruitment: Consider aptitude testing; potential additional testing in later Industry: Issues with clearances; talent pool from DOD vs non Defense

Group 3 Co-Chair: LTC Bill Platte (Ret), Metova Subgroup 3: Leveraging Industry Cyber Learning Objectives for Multi-Domain Operations Training for Warfighters Actively Integrate Cyberspace and EW into M&S Training Platforms ISO MDO. Actively Develop Training Platforms at the Strategic, Operational, Tactical levels based on user defined requirements. Cyber for Cyber Cyber for Others Cyber for All Actively Link Industry, DoD, and Academia lessons learned for Cyber/EW training is essential to National Security
