Cybersecurity Program Management

Under the authority of the DoD HPCMP and DREN Authorizing Official (AO), HPCMP Security maintains multi-tiered cybersecurity risk management processes to reduce risk and maximize resiliency of HPCMP networks and systems. In doing so, the CSPM continuously monitors and evaluates the effectiveness of management and technical controls to enable risk management framework (RMF) assessments and authorizations, identification and remediation of vulnerabilities, and communication of risks to the HPCMP AO.

Additionally, the CSPM publishes and enforces cybersecurity guidance applicable to the unique computational and networking environments throughout the HCPMP. In coordination with the DoD and Service-level risk advisory groups, the CSPM continuously evolves risk management practices through the use of authoritative cybersecurity data and operationally-relevant threat sources. In managing and monitoring cyber risks, the CSPM reinforces the Program's commitment to deliver a resilient cyber terrain enabling RDT&E and AE users' pursuit of innovative solutions to the Department's most critical mission challenges.

HPCMP CSSP Services (Link)

Defensive Cyberspace Operations

As a designated Area of Operation (AO) with reporting responsibilities directly to the Joint Force Headquarters-DoD Information Networks (JFHQ-DODIN), the HPCMP employs Friendly Forces to conduct DODIN Ops and DCO-IDM functions across the DREN and SDREN cyber terrain. From an authorized Cybersecurity Service Provider (CSSP) to formal DODIN boundary assessments of public-facing systems and data, the HPCMP maintains Defensive Cyberspace Forces (DCF) to ensure high-speed, reliable, and secure connectivity for the RDT&E and AE communities.

HPCMP Security is responsible for the integration, synchronization, and de-confliction of cybersecurity activities across the DREN and SDREN cyber terrain. In close coordination with applicable AO Commander and Director's DCFs, the Security team enables timely information sharing of "Tier 1" Order countermeasures implementation and cyber incident/event data to/from Service Cyber Components, Agencies, and Field Activities (SCC/A/FAs) with a presence on the DREN and SDREN. With visibility across DODIN enterprise RDT&E networks, the HPCMP DCO functions are imperative in achieving shared situational awareness amongst SCC/A/AFs on the DREN, minimizing "seams" between AO boundaries, and providing the requisite visibility to the JFHQ-DODIN.

As an authorized DoD CSSP since 2006, the HPCMP delivers full-spectrum cybersecurity services to effectively protect and defend Program assets, as well as DREN- and SDREN-connected sites aligned to the HPCMP for CSSP coverage. The HPCMP employs cybersecurity capabilities strategically located across the enterprise, and purpose-built for the DREN and SDREN cyber terrain.

For more information and additional resources regarding the HPCMP CSSP services, please visit: https://cssp.hpc.mil (DoD PKI Required)

Security

As cyber threats continue to evolve and advance, so do the DoD HPCMP's cybersecurity core functions and activities. In its mission to apply security intelligently and promote a secure, resilient, and productive environment for the RDT&E and AE communities the Security team performs defensive cyberspace operations (DCO) and cybersecurity program management (CSPM) functions to a wide variety of stakeholders.

The Data Analysis and Visualization (DAV) Center

The Data Analysis and Visualization (DAV) Center, initiated by the Department of Defense (DoD) High Performance Computing Modernization Program (HPCMP), serves the needs of DoD HPCMP scientists to analyze an ever increasing volume and complexity of data. The DAV Center’s mission is to put visualization and analysis tools and services into the hands of every user. Visit https://daac.hpc.mil/ for more information.

Computational Research and Engineering Acquisition Tools and Environments (CREATE)

The Computational Research and Engineering Acquisition Tools and Environments (CREATE) element of the High Performance Computing Modernization Program (HPCMP) represents a portfolio of investments for development, deployment, and maintenance of software in response to critical capability requirements of the DoD. These HPCMP CREATE™ software applications enable physics-based virtual prototyping and testing analysis for major Defense weapons programs to increase weapon system agility, flexibility and performance.

HPCMP CREATE™ products are intended for US Government, DoD, and partnering industries use only. All products are export controlled (ITAR or EAR). To acquire or inquire about any of our products, please click here to email us. 

To apply for access, click the button below.  If you already have a license and a Portal to the Information Environment (pIE) Account, you can directly access CREATE Resources using your CAC or HPCMP-issued YubiKey.

Prior to requesting access to any of the systems at one or more of the DoD Supercomputing Resource Centers (DSRCs), a user must register with the HPCMP (commonly referred to as applying for a pIE account). Need a pIE account? Click here for more information. 

CREATE's Purpose

The HPCMP CREATE™ program is designed to improve the DoD acquisition process by developing and deploying five sets of advanced computational engineering design tools for acquisition programs:

  • CREATE-AV: Military aircraft design
  • CREATE-GV: Ground vehicle design
  • CREATE-RF: Radio frequency antenna design and integration with platforms
  • CREATE-SH: Military ship design
  • CREATE Capstone: Meshing and geometry tool
  • CREATE Sage: Software for training, assessing, and refining surrogate models
