INCITE: Innovative Cyber/Infrastructure Threat assessment Environment

TDKC proposes the INnovative Cyber/Infrastructure Threat Assessment Environment (INCITE) as part of this SBIR call. Our Phase I concept includes: (1) the collection and processing of publically available infrastructure data to include roadways, gas pipelines, electrical grids, water lines, telecommunication lines, and other data (as available); (2) the prototyping of automated clustering, filtering data attribution, and ontology tagging tools to translate raw infrastructure data into a common malleable format; (3) the prototyping of analyst data tools that process the attributed infrastructure data to highlight potential areas of concern; and (4) the integration of all capabilities into an innovative mashup-like decision support tool. Our approach ensures an operationally focused Phase I concept that is effective, demonstrable, and most of all operationally practical. Our goal with INCITE is to automate critical time-consuming tasks that are well-defined elements of the overall infrastructure analysis workflow. INCITE is an open-source, standards-based framework that integrates with existing OSD/AF resources and environments.
