The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is offering this cooperative agreement for a “State, Local, Tribal and Territorial (SLTT) National Information Exchange Model (NIEM) Cyber Pilot.” This grant advances CISA’s mission to enhance shared situational awareness and enable integrated actions against growing cybersecurity risks. The NIEM is a common vocabulary that facilitates efficient information exchange. Building on NIEM’s established success, this pilot aims to develop a prototype data exchange standard format based on NIEM with select States. The goal is to roll out this model across SLTT agencies, leading to effective cyber-physical information sharing and improved information exchange capabilities for all types of organizations to better respond to cyber threats.

| Description: | The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, Stakeholder Engagement Division seeks to award a new cooperative agreement for a pilot titled “State, Local, Tribal and Territorial National Information Exchange Model Cyber Pilot” in fiscal year 2020. The activities contemplated in this agreement advance CISA’s mission as defined in authorities within the Homeland Security Act of 2002, as amended by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency Act of 2018, specifically regarding providing shared situational awareness to enable real-time, integrated, and operational actions across the Federal Government and non-Federal entities to address cybersecurity risks and incidents. The nature of the cybersecurity threat to America is growing, and our nation’s cyber adversaries move with speed and stealth. To keep pace, all types of organizations, including those beyond traditional critical infrastructure sectors, need to be able to share information and respond to cyber risk. The National Information Exchange Model (NIEM) is a common vocabulary that enables efficient information exchange across diverse public and private organizations. NIEM connects communities of people who share a common need to exchange information in order to advance their mission. For over 10 years, NIEM has facilitated information exchanges across a variety of mission spaces and subject areas. What began as a solution for the law enforcement and homeland security communities has since evolved into a wide range of subject matters and areas. CISA is building on these community efforts by facilitating the implementation of the NIEM model to enhance data and information exchanges through the NIEM Cyber Domain. The purpose of this cooperative agreement is to explore the development of a prototype data exchange standard format based on NIEM with a select group of States that can eventually be rolled out for implementation across State, Local, Tribal and Territorial (SLTT) agencies. This implementation will result in an effective model for cyber-physical information sharing. and development for improved SLTT information exchange capabilities. |
