• Geo-Cyber Security• Energy/Utilities/SmartGrid• Force Protection/Emergency Management• Geospatial Location Intelligence

Geo-Cyber Security

• Traditional virtual network maps vs. geo-enabled maps

• Physical locations of Cyber assets and sources of attack are important for the Common Operating Picture (COP)

• Offensive and defensive cyber analysis• Risk assessments• Cyber forensics

Energy/Utility/Smart Grid Geo-Cyber Issues

• SmartGrid and Control System assets are Geospatially distributed

• Smart Grid assets can be tracked/displayed on a map now; near-real time asset tracking on a map is TBR

• The “Smart Grid” is not “Cyber Smart” yet• Open standards and modern communications

technology are needed for increased interoperability• Engineering Control systems are different than

Force Protection/Emergency Management and Geo-Cyber Security

Force Protection/Emergency Management and Geo-Cyber Issues

• Many of these systems are proprietary, web/data base applications with no Geospatial capability

• For those applications with Geospatial capability, many Geo-enabled features can be integrated:• Location based services for fixed and mobile

assets • Near-real time Geo-position/status updates

• Mobile asset Geo-Cyber example

Geospatial Location Intelligence

Geospatial Location Intelligence

• Geospatial Information Interoperability Exploitation Portable (GIIEP) program

• Provide “Blue Force Tracking” like capability for air/ground/marine/space assets

• Geo-enabled collaboration capabilities such as white boarding, graphics dissemination, data distribution, chat, video and Common Operational Picture (COP)

• Cyber-certified (ATO and CON) application and supports PDA’s, SmartPhones and new technologies such as iPad & Android Pad.
