D -- OFFICE OF DEFENSE PROGRAMS CYBERSECURITY SOURCES SOUGHT POC Vicky Sinkler, e-mail: vicky.sinkler@ns.doe.gov The U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Defense Programs has recently completed a study addressing its cybersecurity needs for computing and networking systems. As part of that effort a multiyear implementation plan has been developed to extensively modify and modernize existing infrastructure across the weapons complex. The infrastructure consists of information management and computing hardware and software installations at the weapons laboratories (Los Alamos National Laboratory, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and Sandia National Laboratory), the Nevada Test Site, the Production Plants (Y12, Pantex, Savannah River, and Kansas City) as well as supporting federal facilities. The new infrastructure will consist of approximately 25,000 nodes in a well-integrated secure network connecting the weapons complex. Sources are sought for potential solutions to authentication, authorization, encryption, intrusion detection, usage analysis, need-to-know controls, configuration auditing, secure applications, networking and computing hardware and software, systems engineering, and installation. An industry briefing will be held at the U.S. Department of Energy Headquarters, Forrestal Building Main Aditorium,1000 Independence Blvd, Washington, DC 20585 on Wednesday 9 September from 0900 until 1200.
