So I had no clue what Neuromorphic Computing was when I received the latest Cyber Security and Information Systems Information Analysis Center (CSIAC) Cybersecurity Digest via email, but it was one of the headlines sections among more well-known topics such as data security, mobile security, software security, and Internet of Things (IOT). With Wikipedia to the rescue, it turns out Neuromorphic Computing is rather cool. You can learn more here, but the focus of this post is CSIAC resources and the CSIAC Cybersecurity Digest.
CSIAC is one of the DoD Information Analysis Centers, sponsored by the Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC). CSIAC’s core technology areas are Cybersecurity, Software Engineering, Modeling & Simulation, and Knowledge Management/Information Sharing. More specifically:
The CSIAC is chartered to leverage best practices and expertise from government, industry, and academia on cyber security and information technology. The CSIAC’s mission is to provide the DoD with a central point of access for Information Assurance and Cybersecurity to include emerging technologies in system vulnerabilities, R&D, models, and analysis to support the development and implementation of effective defense against information warfare attacks.
The CSIAC website provides a ton of resources, grouped into the following:
- Reports – I’m not sure why, but except for one 2014 report, the rest were published in 2011 or earlier
- Best Practices & Reference Documents – These are more current with several posted from 2016 already
- Webinars and Podcasts – These are done at least monthly
- Standards and Policies – DoD Directives/Instructions, IEEE, ISO, IEC, MIL-STD, etc.
- Certifications – Captures a lot of the major ones, but seems to not be comprehensive
- Journals – CSIAC publishes its own journal quarterly
- Tools – Various tools and databases related to CSIAC’s core technology areas to include a very comprehensive Acronym Database with acronyms pertinent to cyber for the DoD community
One resource that CSIAC maintains is the infamous DoD Cybersecurity Policy Chart, which helps you navigate the complex world of DoD policy. The chart actually links to each of the policies.
While I will occasionally check out the CSIAC website, I like having information pushed to me. As such, I subscribe to the CSIAC Cybersecurity Digest, a biweekly cybersecurity newsletter delivered via email. It contains recent news on a variety of cybersecurity topics as well as links to technical and policy resources.
The more recent digest (as of this posting) can also be found here on the CSIAC website.
In addition to the Cybersecurity Digest, you can subscribe to these CSIAC offerings as well:
- Journal of Cyber Security and Information Systems – Quarterly
- Cyber Security and Information Systems Webinar Annoncements – Monthly
- DoD Cybersecurity Policy Chart Update List – Every two weeks (approx)
I encourage you to check out the CSIAC website and its resources, particularly those that can be delivered to you.
