NASA Goddard Cybersecurity Day



Event Overview

The 2018 Goddard Cybersecurity Expo will be held on October 18 at their secure facility hosted by the Information Technology and Communications Directorate (ITCD). The director of ITCD serves as the Goddard chief information officer (CIO). The CIO is the chief adviser to the Goddard center director for IT strategy, planning and IT service provisioning. The Cybersecurity Services & Integration Division (part of ITCD) will be recruiting speakers to provide informational sessions on relevant cyber issues. Industry exhibitors may sit in on the sessions. This event will be promoted to all NASA Cyber and IT-focused personnel, as well as the entire workforce at this location.

Speaking Opportunities
There will be speaking opportunities available for industry speakers. Topics will be determined at a later date.

NASA Goddard Overview

Goddard’s IT personnel provide a full range of IT services and capabilities for the center, including desktop support, application development, collaboration tools, network engineering, and cyber security. The team brokers enterprise services from the agency to provide efficient and cost-effective solutions, and extends those services with local solutions to meet the unique requirements of the center’s science missions.

The priorities of Goddard IT can be divided into three major areas: capability, cybersecurity, and sustainability.

 

IT Capability: Enabling Goddard Science and Technology

Goddard manages and operates the IT services that the center’s workforce relies on every day —- networks, telephones, video communications, custom software applications, and desktop and computing services. As part of NASA’s Communications Services Office, Goddard also plays a lead role in the agency’s mission network infrastructure. Goddard’s IT service delivery priorities are to ensure that the center’s IT infrastructure and application capabilities and services continue to meet evolving stakeholder needs and enable mission success.

 

Cybersecurity: Securing Goddard Science Data and Assets

Information security is fundamental to ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of Goddard’s critical scientific and institutional data and IT assets. Goddard’s cybersecurity priority is to enhance and integrate information security throughout the system life cycle, ensuring that Goddard’s data and information are protected from cyber-attack. Goddard uses a risk-based approach to information security management, which balances the appropriate level of security the need to integrate emerging technologies to allow scientific collaboration and achieve mission success.

 

IT Sustainability: Optimizing Support for Goddard Science

The last major priority for IT at Goddard is to enable Goddard missions and science through:

  • Innovative, sustainable, and transparent support,
  • Effective IT planning, enterprise architecture, and IT governance.

Goddard’s unique and effective IT governance model employs representative center participation to coordinate IT strategy and oversee the center’s IT investment portfolio. Enterprise architecture creates a blueprint for the center to translate these strategies and plans into core capabilities.
