Improving Cybersecurity and Resilience Through Acquisition Emile Monette GSAGovCloud Network
When the government purchases products or services with inadequate in-built “cybersecurity,” the risks created persist throughout the lifespan of the item purchased. The lasting effect of inadequate cybersecurity in acquired items is part of what makes acquisition reform so important to achieving cybersecurity and resiliency.
Currently, government and contractors use varied and nonstandard practices, which make it difficult to consistently manage and measure acquisition cyber risks across different organizations.
Meanwhile, due to the growing sophistication and complexity of ICT and the global ICT supply chains, federal agency information systems are increasingly at risk of compromise, and agencies need guidance to help manage ICT supply chain risks

You wouldn't be surprised if i told you that we do live in interesting times. New business models are created at the same pace today at which older ones are being destroyed. Technology is no longer just an enabler for business, it has become the business for most organizations. In this session we will touch upon some of the challenges and opportunities that the cloud has to offer. The cloud (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS) as we know it offers organizations immense opportunity in terms of reducing time to market on delivering engaging customer experiences but with all of that agility a move to the cloud also brings numerous challenges, some obvious and some not very obvious. In this session we will go over challenges engineering systems for the cloud including a case study engineering a complex legacy application for the cloud.

The Galactic Customer IT Services is IT Support Company with over 250,000 employees with companies in over 50 states with the main headquarters located in Gainesville, FL. The location chosen for the headquarters is based on a Telco Gateway Infrastructure that the main fiber-optic truck line runs along the I75 corridor, from Miami Lakes FL to the northern part of Michigan. This I75 corridor plays an important part of the Networking ability for the organization. The Galactic Customer IT Services is an IT support company, which provides IT support to various small to large companies both within the Unites States and support to various military bases overseas. This large customer service company has installed application software to its large Help Desk ticketing system. The next phase being implemented is the upgrading of its Networking Infrastructure, which also includes cloud-based networking. This Organization has several new updated Servers ready to install on the network. With the previous project being accepted the organization has decided to move forward to improving its networking infrastructure, however the organization has request the project team to draft a plan that requires the following in the plan: Requirements, Design, System Development Methodology, WBS (Work Breakdown Structure), Communications Plan, Quality Assurance Plan, Documentation Plan, and Quality Assurance and results of test-case execution be the project can be closed.

The results are normalized to a monthly pricing model to establish the price-performance metrics.
Cloud Computing is an information technology gold rush. Everything from social media and smart phones to streaming video and additive games come from the cloud. This revolution has also driven many to wonder how they can retool themselves to take advantage of this massive shift. Many in IT see the technology as an opportunity to accelerate their careers but in their attempt to navigate their cloud computing future, the question of what type of training, vendor-neutral or vendor-specific, is right for them
The Federal government today is in the midst of a revolution. The revolution is challenging the norms of government by introducing new ways of serving the people. New models for creating services and delivering information; new policies and procedures that are redefining federal acquisition and what it means to be a federal system integrator. This revolution also lacks the physical and tangible artifacts of the past. Its ephemeral nature, global expanse and economic impact all combine in a tidal wave of change. This revolution is called cloud computing.
Since announcing its “Cloud First” policy in 2010, the Federal government has correctly identified cloud computing as a way to reduce costs and improve the use of existing assets, and has accordingly prioritized its adoption. It has also taken judicious steps to protect Federal networks from nefarious cyber-attacks and promote the dissemination of best practices for cybersecurity. The Federal government has also embraced mobility as a means to conduct work from any location. But until now, the implementation of these initiatives has been fragmented and lacked coordination across Federal agencies. This paper offers a framework for integrating these programs in a way that enables the Federal government to realize the economic, technological, and mission-effectiveness benefits of cloud services while simultaneously meeting current Federal cybersecurity
requirements. It advocates shifting from a compliance-based cybersecurity paradigm to
one that is risk-based and focusing on how to most effectively secure their implementation of cloud services.

DoD Business Capability Lifecycle (BCL) Guide (Draft)GovCloud Network
BCL is tailored for the rapid delivery of enterprise business capability. It combines multiple, disjointed oversight processes into a single process. It recognizes that technology rapidly evolves and changes, and consequently, BCL mandates rapid capability delivery – within
eighteen months or less of program initiation. BCL is outcome-based, and modeled on best commercial practices. The process allows for the fact that not all solutions are purely technical. The entire DOTMLPF (Doctrine, Organization, Training, Materiel, Leadership
and education, Personnel and Facilities) spectrum of potential solutions are considered.
Intrusion Detection on Public IaaS - Kevin L. JacksonGovCloud Network
Cloud computing is driving the business of information technology today.
“A recent Gartner survey on the future of IT services found that only 38 percent of all organizations surveyed indicate cloud services use today. However, 80 percent of organizations said that they intend to use cloud services in some form within 12 months, including 55 percent of the organizations not doing so today.“ (Gartner, Inc, 2013)
As companies rush to adopt cloud, however, information technology (IT) security sometimes seems to be an afterthought.
The goal of this paper is to provide a survey of the current state of IT security within public cloud infrastructure-as-a-service providers. After first providing a cloud computing overview, the paper will focus on the infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) deployment model, the typical home of IaaS intrusion detection components. The Gartner Cloud Use Case Framework will then be introduced as it will also serve as the framework for this survey. An in-depth review of public cloud intrusion detection studies, options and expert observations will then follow. The paper will then offer the authors conclusions and cloud computing IDS recommendations for enterprises considering a move to the cloud.
A Framework for Cloud Computing Adoption in South African GovernmentGovCloud Network
Technology adoption is always a critical concern in organizations (private and public). South African government experienced this encounter when adopted Open Source Software (OSS) with the objective to reduce ICT services costs among others. The implementation of OSS in SA government has faced several challenges such as user resistance, human factor, support and funding. As a result of these challenges cost reduction has not been fully achieved. Cost reduction issue ultimately affects implementation of other government programmes such as those who yields job creation, better education, and improving health, etc. The potential alternative to address the same objective as aimed by OSS is Cloud Computing adoption. Cloud Computing promise to offer the SA government more advantages OSS. This study explore the feasibility of Cloud Computing adoption as an alternative to enable cost reduction, effectiveness and efficient of IT services in SA government as was aimed by OSS initiative.
"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Sustainment CONOPS
Founding partners pay the same partnership fees for the next 6 months with same benefits
Companies wanting to become partners after the initial six month period pay the partnership fee
plus the fees for certification to sell Agile Cloud Services through the brokerage
Certification ensures interoperability and compatibility with the rest of the service offerings
Once services are certified, only cost is annual fee
All new services must be certified to be sold through the brokerage on a fee for service
basis
Should partnership fees and/or certification fees not cover expenses a transaction fee
mechanism may be invoked to ensure viability of the operation
Government partnership fees TBD
FOC – TBD (Agile Cloud Service model similar to the telecom model)
