CAP in the Cloud

Explore the future directions and key value points of implementing the Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) in the cloud, discussing rapid deployment, interoperability, and security concerns. Learn from Pete O’Dell, Founder and Director of Swan Island Networks, about the benefits and challenges of cloud computing, the increasing use of standards, and the importance of real-time data in revolutionizing information sharing. Discover how CAP can provide a 360-degree risk picture, incorporating GPS tracking, social media monitoring, bio sensors, and more. Find out about commercial off-the-shelf solutions and how cloud-based systems like TIES and Cybero offer situational awareness and intelligence fusion capabilities. Join the discussion on the evolution of cloud computing, the emergence of big data, and the need for a sharing policy to navigate the changing landscape of IT security and data management.

  1. CAP in the Cloud Pete O’Dell Founder/Director Swan Island Networks Pete.odell@swanisland.net 202-460-9207

  2. Speaker Introduction • Founder Swan Island Networks – early CAP adopter (www.swanisland.net) • TIES and Cybero – SAAS offerings – CAP in the Cloud • Technical and business background • Government and commercial, large and small companies • Book(s): Silver Bullets: How interoperable data will revolutionize information sharing and transparency. Future of interoperability in development - contributors wanted for next version (Sept 2013) • www.advantagefactory.com, www.maplarge.com, www.detectachem.com, www.mystateusa.com

  3. Discussion • Cloud computing accelerating globally • Strong value proposition: • Rapid deployment • Lower costs – normal and surge • Redundancy built in • Interoperability with authorized parties • Reputable providers • Concerns: • Security (better in my opinion) • Loss of control

  4. Future Directions – changes underway • More cloud providers • Price war • More use of standards • Tablets coupled • More enterprise apps • Cloud interoperability • Real time becomes key • Legacy overhang • IT walls being scaled – Bring your own device • Big data – trillions/txns • Sharing policy needed

  5. CAP – key value points Interoperable International Fast time to deploy Compatible CAP Flexible Critical Mass Future Dev Path Embedded in COTS

  6. Much more than meteorological..360 Degree Risk Picture • GPS tracked people • GPS tracked equipment • Social media monitoring • RSS to CAP • Bio sensors • Environment sensors • Explosive test results • Video surveillance alerts • Power outages

  7. Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) • Solutions: • TIES and Cybero – situational awareness/cyber • Vigilance (Pinkerton) – commercial security/intel • MystateUSA – mass alerting • Fusion Core – intelligence information fusion • Previstar – incident management • Premium Feeds: • Global Incident Map • NC4

  8. Demonstration • Production system in the cloud - TIES • Start up in minutes – import, fuse, publish • Scale to hundreds or thousands of users • Aggregate external info, publish internal • Common and user-defined operating picture • Interoperable with other commercial products • Unique Community of Trust architecture • Easy to use – kiosk view needs no training

  9. Recap – some key points • CAP is very versatile for multiple situations • Cloud based deployments are largely Operating Expenses and not major CAPEX • SAAS allows for scale-up and scale down based on need and location • Community of Trust allows use of outside partners
