Flipping the Script on CMMC with AFRL Digital Research Ecosystem | Training
Presented By: Dan Berrigan, Lead, AFRL Worldwide Research Collaboration | Digital Capabilities Directorate | Air Force Research Laboratory
The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) consistently struggles with collaborating in an increasingly diverse scientific landscape. Security and compliance drive restrictions that result in us mailing hard drives of data across the world. In response, AFRL has developed a digital ecosystem built to foster collaboration, innovation, and research amongst its government, academic, and industry partners. This presentation will provide an overview of AFRL’s digital ecosystem, which includes Google Workspace for productivity tools, the AFRL Digital Laboratory Environment for commercial engineering tools, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) as a research and development cloud. This talk will also discuss how AFRL’s digital ecosystem helps its collaborators meet compliance requirements while providing access to the latest commercial cloud technologies and services.
