General Information
Join us for the 5th Annual NASA Goddard Cybersecurity Day!
At NASA Goddard, it's the Information Technology and Communications Directorate (ITCD) team that provides a full range of IT services and capabilities – including desktop support, application development, collaboration tools, network engineering and cybersecurity – so center scientists can focus on their missions.
Each year, ITCD hosts the Goddard Cybersecurity Expo at their secure facility to discuss cybersecurity and technology. You'll want to be there – the event has had a great, lengthy history in terms of both attendees and interest level:
- The audience is very engaged in all sessions and in the expo.
- In 2019, there were 225 attendees (all NASA Goddard employees).
- The CIO (chief adviser to the Goddard center director for IT strategy, planning and IT service provisioning) stays for the entire event and speaks.
- There are 3-4 speaking sessions coordinated for the auditorium in building #8 (please submit an abstract - information will be available in August 2020.).
- Event has a unique setup that encourages constant interaction with attendees and allows Industry exhibitors to enjoy the sessions.
- This event is promoted to all NASA cyber and IT-focused personnel, as well as the entire workforce at this location.
Exhibition spots have sold out very quickly for four years in a row – so register early!
The prioroties of Goddard IT can be divided into three major areas: IT Capability, Cybersecurity and IT Sustainability.
Requested Technologies
IT Capability: Enabling Goddard Science and Technology
Goddard manages and operates the IT services for the center's workforce including networks, telephones, video communications, custom software applications, and desktop and computing services. As part of NASA’s Communications Services Office, Goddard also plays a lead role in the agency’s mission network infrastructure. Goddard’s IT service delivery priorities are to ensure that the center’s IT infrastructure and application capabilities and services continue to meet evolving stakeholder needs and enable mission success.
Cybersecurity: Securing Goddard Science Data and Assets
Information security is fundamental to ensuring the confidentiality, integrity and availability of Goddard’s critical scientific and institutional data and IT assets. Goddard’s cybersecurity priority is to enhance and integrate information security throughout the system life cycle, ensuring that Goddard’s data and information are protected from cyber-attack. Goddard uses a risk-based approach to information security management, which balances the appropriate level of security the need to integrate emerging technologies to allow scientific collaboration and achieve mission success.
IT Sustainability: Optimizing Support for Goddard Science
The last major priority for IT at Goddard is to enable Goddard missions and science through:
- Innovative, sustainable and transparent support,
- Effective IT planning, enterprise architecture and IT governance.
Goddard’s unique and effective IT governance model employs representative center participation to coordinate IT strategy and oversee the center’s IT investment portfolio. Enterprise architecture creates a blueprint for the center to translate these strategies and plans into core capabilities.
