CYBERSECURITY PERFORMANCE

Protecting institutions like banking, healthcare and the government can be a daunting task given the breadth of potential malicious actors. In recent years, the increasingly disastrous consequences from cyberattacks that steal or manipulate data have impacted many sectors. In 2016, S&T helped cybersecurity officials keep pace with these constantly evolving threats, by researching, identifying and transitioning proven, cost-effective solutions.

TO TOP

Getting technology to market can be the biggest challenge to deploying cybersecurity solutions to the private and public sector.

S&T brings together cybersecurity stakeholders and innovators in the private sector and academia to find mature technologies ready for commercialization.

In 2016, we identified promising technologies that meet network operator and cyber professional needs, and these solutions are already helping companies protect their networks, information and assets.

As a result, operators can now use ZeroPoint to determine—in seconds—whether web content contains hazardous exploit payloads, and will be quickly notified of any threats before data is lost. Symbiote, already in use with Hewlett Packard to protect its printers provides a similar capability, helping cyber professionals detect intentional interference on embedded system devices such as routers. Defending both aspects of cybersecurity, the Physical and Cyber Risk Analysis Tool (PACRAT) simultaneously assesses cyber and physical risks and helps users understand how they impact each other. RhinoCorps, a small business and vulnerability assessment tool developer in Albuquerque, New Mexico, licensed the tool. S&T will continue to partner with innovators to transition promising research and development projects, making them available to cybersecurity operators across the nation.

CYBERSECURITY PERFORMANCE PROTECTION

TO TOP

The expansion of the Internet of Things (IoT) raises new security concerns as more physical devices are exposed to digital threats.

Devices like phones and medical tracking devices empower us, but they can also leave us vulnerable to cyber criminals.

To prevent this from happening, S&T has developed tools to help cyber officials better protect assets in the physical and digital worlds, particularly through the Cyber Physical Systems Security (CPSSEC) project. In 2016, CPSSEC developed guidance to protect vehicles from cyberattacks during software updates. The project also investigated ways to secure the federal government’s vehicle fleet from cyberthreats, focusing on telematics systems that track vehicle location and performance.

On the digital front, S&T partnered with the Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials to protect public safety mobile applications. Together, we helped identify security requirements that will be used to evaluate existing apps and guide future development. As technology advances and new threats arise, S&T will continue developing innovative resources that cybersecurity professionals can use to secure physical and digital systems.
