JFAC Rapid Accredited DoD-Cloud Hosted Environment for Assurance Tools
Challenge Summary
Description
JFAC needs access to an accredited cloud-hosted environment that has the flexibility of rapidly adding new and various assurance tools not already in use by the cybersecurity community and software factory ecosystem. Solutions Market Place will be used to award in the category of Streamlining Processes.
Today's Challenges
       
The JFAC requires an accredited cloud-hosted marketplace of all assurance tools made available to the DoD community.  Cloud-hosting is the current desired approach, but drives challenges from a cybersecurity perspective in obtaining an Authority to Operate (ATO). JFAC is an OUSD(R&E) organization that does not have an authorizing official, so in order to gain access to accredited cloud environments, partnerships with DISA or the Military Services’ authorizing officials to grant an authority to operate (ATO) is dependent on organizational partnerships external to JFAC. The JFAC needs a streamlined approach for gaining an ATO for a multitude of assurance tools to be made available to the community.  The JFAC is looking to establish a cloud-hosted marketplace to include the various assurance tools identified in our current catalog.
 
 
 
Use Case Scenario
Currently, assurance tools sponsored by JFAC are delivered to the federated community via multiple distribution mechanisms (laptops, desktops, engineering networks, etc.) and is a sub-optimal solution for delivering affordable capabilities. A specific use case is to change the distribution mechanism of our JFAC-sponsored Code Dx tool by making a single server available in the cloud for consumption by the user-base across organizational and network boundaries.
Future State Solution
Expand from a single assurance tool in a cloud hosted environment for use by the JFAC to grow to include the various tools identified in the JFAC portal Provide an accredited cloud-hosting environment for all assurance tools identified in the JFAC portal that can be made available to the DoD assurance ecosystem.
