ACT 2016 Activites

ACT Workshop 2016

The Special Cyber Operations Research and Engineering (SCORE) Subcommittee sponsored the 2016 Adoption of Cybersecurity Technology (ACT) workshop at the Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, New Mexico from 8-10 March 2016. In order to illuminate systemic barriers to adoption of security measures while potentially mitigating specific threats, the workshop focused specifically on mitigation techniques identified in NSA's Adversary Obstruction Methodology.

ACT 2016 Workshop - 90 Day Spins

Participants of the ACT Workshop 2016 developed action plans that are to be implemented via 90 day spins. Participants took ownership of the solutions put forward during the workshop, and have briefed the Adoption of Cybersecurity Technology Organizing Committee every 90 days on the status of their implementation.  The spin reports address successes, challenges, and the specific steps taken to overcome roadblocks to the realization of the adoption of cybersecurity technologies by specific government entities.
