Cyber Panel Transition Effort 0008

Abstract : This report covers the work accomplished by the Schafer Corporation in support of DARPA's Cyber Panel Transition Effort. The Cyber Panel Program's goals were to develop capabilities to help defend mission-critical information systems by monitoring them for signs of cyber attack, and to allow operators to manage the operation of system security and survivability features to avert or counter developing attack situations. The Cyber Panel Program was intended to help reduce the vulnerability of military systems to strategic cyber attacks by creating technologies that enable human-directed command and control over cyber resources, operationally relevant cyber situational understanding, mission impact assessment, and defensive response evaluation and execution. Schafer Corporation provided support for the Cyber Panel Transition Effort in the areas of program management, facilities and logistics, document management and control, program administration, and financial management. In this capacity, Schafer Corporation performed both on-site and off-site using information system capabilities and program management techniques to achieve the assigned tasks.
