Information Assurance Technology Analysis Center

Information Assurance Technology Analysis Center (IATAC) is a United States Department of Defense (DoD) Government Organization.

IATAC has an IA scope including research, acquisition, testing, demonstration, operational implementation or logistics.

IATAC's mission,[5] like the other IACs in the DTIC IAC Program, is: “To provide the Department of Defense (DoD) a central point of access for information on IA and CS (IA/CS), emerging technologies in system vulnerabilities, research and development, models, and analysis to support the development and implementation of effective defense against Information Warfare (IW) attacks.

[16] IATAC coordinates a Subject Matter Expert (SME) Program that facilitates the sharing of information among IA/CS SMEs across government, industry, and academia.

IATAC collects IA/DIO related STI to share with the DoD, other federal agencies, their contractors, and the research and engineering (R&E) community.

[21] IATAC's library facilitates knowledge sharing between diverse groups and organizations, and all STI is readily accessible to the IA/DIO community within the classification and secondary distribution instructions.

[22] All STI collected by IATAC is relevant to IA/CS research, development, engineering, testing, evaluation, production, operation, use, or maintenance.

[28] Critical Reviews and Technology Assessments (CR/TA) evaluate and synthesize the latest available information resulting from recent R&D findings.

[29] Topics include Wireless Wide Area Network (WWAN) Security, Network-Centric Warfare, and Biotechnology.

Past editions have focused on topics such as Cloud Computing[31] and Security Content Automation Protocol (SCAP).
