The Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate invites system integrators and government sponsors of information systems projects to attend the DHS S&T System Integrator Forum on February 21, 2008, from 8:00 am – 4:00 pm. The event will showcase several new security solutions funded by the DHS S&T that aim to remediate federal and commercial cyber security vulnerabilities.

The goal of the DHS S&T System Integrator Forum is to introduce high-quality, top-performing research companies to large integrators of technology who serve the federal government and private industry. Each of the presenting technology developers have completed cyber security technology development projects funded under DHS Broad Agency Announcements (BAA) or Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) programs. They have been selected for participation in the SI Forum based upon the maturity of their technology solution, relevance to government needs, the apparent commercial viability of their approach, and their business leadership. These technology solutions represent cutting-edge innovations with the potential to improve the security of the nation's cyber-infrastructure, while also reducing the costs required to protect cyber assets from attacks.

Presentations:

The DHS reserves the right to modify the agenda until the date of the event, but the SI Forum may include the following presentations: 

• Secure USB flash drives with hardware encryption and 2-factor authentication, featuring centralized policy management, secure password management, and integration with end-point security.
  
  
• An advanced botnet and malware detection and diagnosis system that harnesses best practices in enterprise-level physical memory forensics with automated binary reverse engineering capabilities.
  
  
• Vulnerability Analysis tools that model cyber network penetration, based on the network configuration and known vulnerabilities, producing a view of all potential multi-step attacks through the network.
  
  
• A tool for deep analysis and transformation of software (in either source or binary executable form), with application to security-vulnerability discovery, assurance, and anti-tamper protection.
  
  
• Pattern recognition and data analysis tools to quickly write and test network signatures, allowing for the determination of new security threats through positive-negative enumeration.

Attendees:

Those interested in attending the DHS S&T System Integrator Forum should represent an information services company that specializes in integrating information systems and corresponding security capabilities that meet federal government and private industry requirements. The SI Forum is the ideal venue for system integrators, chief technology officers, chief information officers, chief information systems security officers, purchasing decision-makers, and government sponsors of system integration programs to learn about opportunities to integrate capabilities resulting from the DHS S&T’s effort to further developments in cyber security technology. The event is NOT a venue for researchers or small businesses seeking funding or networking opportunities.

This announcement is not a request for proposal. The event is free of charge.
