Description: UNITED STATES CYBER COMMAND TECHNICAL CHALLENGE PROBLEM SET
As the nation’s cyber warriors, USCYBERCOM operates daily in cyberspace against capable adversaries, some of whom are now near-peer competitors in this domain. We have learned we must stop attacks before they penetrate our cyber defenses or impair our military forces; and through persistent, integrated operations, we can influence adversary behavior and introduce uncertainty into their calculations.
The following 2020 Technical Challenge Problems describe areas of significant challenge to the Command and reflect our most pressing capability needs. These build upon the initial set of Technical Challenges and as before, will be used to enrich our engagement with capability providers in Industry, Academia, and other Government entities.
Here are the steps to follow when engaging with USCYBERCOM.
1. Review the USCYBERCOM technical challenge problems at www.cybercom.mil/Partnerships-and-Outreach/Technical-Outreach-Division/
2. Prepare a non-proprietary response (no more than 2 pages) with the following information: a. Company Information Company Name: Company website: Company POC Name: Company POC Email: Company Overview:
b. Capability Summary Capability Name: Capability Overview: Capability Availability (In months.) Capability Technical Readiness Level (0-9)
c. USCYBERCOM’s Challenge problem(s) to which the capability can supply a solution and an explanation of how the capability answers the challenge problems. If your capability does not answer any of the challenge problems, an explanation of how your capability fulfills USCYBERCOM requirements.
d. What similar technologies exist today?
e. What is your capability’s differentiator or what is innovative about your capability?
f. Regarding compliance: i. For government contractors, which NIST SP 800-53 & 171 controls does your company/capability support? What are your company’s plans to achieve CMMC compliance? ii. For encryption technologies - Which NIAP and NIST/FIPS certifications does your capability have? Is your capability listed with the CSfC Approved Components list and has it been integrated into a CSfC solution? iii. For cloud technologies - Is your capability FedRAMP authorized? Is your capability Impact Level authorized by the DoD?
g. Is your capability currently in use by the US Government and if so, can you provide some examples?
h. Email your non-proprietary response to engage-with-cybercom@cybercom.mil
USCYBERCOM is conducting weekly meetings with the requirements and solutions analysis team and discussing candidate solutions in order of mission priority.
