Cyber Center of Excellence ( CCE )
The Cyber Challenge and The Resilience Imperative
America ’ s globally connected and increasingly exploited critical infrastructures enable the spectrum of American Life . Their absence or degradation , regardless of cause , produces the opposite . From designing , developing and buying products to running businesses to finding directions to communicating with the people , an online world has fundamentally reshaped our daily lives . But just as the continually evolving digital age presents boundless opportunities for our economy , our businesses , and our people , it also presents a new “ vector ” and generation of threats and exploitable vulnerabilities which we must address . “ Hacktivists ” Criminals , terrorists , and Nation-States who wish to do us harm all realize that attacking America through cyberspace is infinitely easier , far less risky and consistently provides higher payoffs than attacking via kinetic means or in person . As more and more sensitive data is stored online , the consequences of probes and cyber-attacks attacks grow more significant by the millisecond . Identity theft is now the fastest growing crime in America . While innovators and entrepreneurs have reinforced our global leadership and sustained our economy , with each new report of a high-profile government agency and company hacked or a neighbor defrauded , more Americans have cause to wonder whether technology ’ s benefits are being outpaced by its costs . Meeting these new and rapidly morphing threats requires both a new preparedness culture and technologies , Both are within our collective grasp . They require a bold reassessment of the way we approach security , safety and continuity of operations in the digital age and specifically , our growing reliance upon Cyberspace . If we ’ re going to be connected , we need to be not only protected but operationally resilient . We must join together — Government , businesses , and individuals — to renew and sustain the spirit of continuous innovation and improvement in the Nation ’ s safety , security , quality of life and future that has made America with worlds beacon of innovation and strength .
Cyber Center of Excellence ( CCE ) Alpharetta
Our mission is to build a local and regional Cyber Center of Excellence ( CCE ) with National and Allied reach . We will leverage cyber innovations and create synergies amongst Industry , Government , and Academia . We will build upon our proven capabilities in technology and leading-edge thought and research to address current and rapidly evolving Cyber challenges and their impact upon a Nation increasingly reliant upon globally interconnected cyberspace . As part our mission we will engage , inform and empower our community on cyber realities and the imperative of achieving and sustaining Cyber Resilience . Building protected , secure and operationally resilient information systems and networks , require pragmatism , and empowerment of individuals , businesses and American communities . The Cyber Center of Excellence ( CCE ) Alpharetta brings together highly experienced government , industry , Intelligence , security and technical experts share their expertise in cyber resilience and all it empowers , privacy protection , public safety , and economic and national security , to enable individuals and organizations in the CCE community to understand and continuously improve control of their digital security to address rapidly growing local , regional , and national Cyber challenges .
CCE supports the Cyber security National Action Plan ( CNAP ) that builds upon lessons-learned from Cyber trends , threats , and intrusions . This CNAP directs the Federal Government to foster the conditions required for long-term improvements in our approach to Cyber resilience across the Federal Government , public and private sectors , and throughout the spectrum of our personal lives .
The CCE is privately funded and supported by Smart Community Exchange ( SCE ). CNAP ( the Federal Government ) will need to invest additional resources in its cyber security . The 2017 Budget allocates more than $ 19 billion for cyber security – a more than 35 percent increase over the 2016 enacted level . These resources will enable agencies to raise their level of cyber security , help private sector organizations and innovators to better disrupt and deter adversary activity , and respond more effectively to incidents .
