Bridge to Tomorrow
鈥淧roblems are so multidimensional now. We have to engage in a broader sphere so groups can collaborate to get new insights,鈥 says Josh. Here are two of the areas where we build partnerships.
Connecting Silicon Valley to the IC
鈥淲e鈥檝e invested in building labs and providing prototypes to grow our intellectual capital, expand the skills of our staff, and create collaborative environments for innovative engagements with clients, industry, and academia鈥攆or example,听our 5G lab,鈥 says Becky. In addition, our听tech scouting services听forecast trends and open up collaboration with startups and other nontraditional partners.
Connecting Intel and Industry
鈥淎dversarial countries are pouring resources into their tech buildup. We鈥檙e not going to outspend them, so we need to be really good at identifying the best capabilities in industry and enhance them or incorporate them in novel ways for the intelligence mission,鈥 says Josh. Banking is an example of an industry that shares the need for true attribute-based access control for disparate data merged into one ecosystem.
The flow of information goes two ways, Becky points out. 鈥淪ecurity is more than a government function; it鈥檚 also about protecting national resources and assets. And industry is part of that. Adversaries are focused on these soft targets. Every aspect of society needs to be protected.鈥
