Cross Domain Technical Forum (CDTF)

Welcome

The National Cross Domain Strategy & Management Office (NCDSMO) presents the 2024 Cross Domain Technical Forum (CDTF), a three-day forum for government, industry, and FVEY partners to advance their cross domain knowledge, learn about the latest developments in cross domain technology, and discover cross domain solutions (CDS) that will satisfy their mission needs.

Over the past decade, the CDTF has connected representatives from government and industry helping them partner and collaborate on the advancement of cross domain technology and the resolution of challenges specific to cross domain developers, testers, owners, and operators.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Audience

The CDTF is for those who work with cross domain technology for the U.S. Government (particularly the Department of Defense and Intelligence Community), Five-Eyes partners (Australia, Canada, Great Britain and New Zealand), industry, and academia.

Anyone involved in the development, testing, accreditation, operation, maintenance, or management of CDSs and anyone who needs to know more about CDSs to accomplish their mission should attend.

Classification & Clearances

Days 1 and 2 of the CDTF are unclassified and the third day is SECRET//REL TO USA, FVEY.

About the NCDSMO

The NCDSMO is the focal point for U.S. Government cross domain capabilities and mission needs. The NCDSMO provides CDS security standards, operates the CDS testing program, and provides CDS community programs and forums. As an NSA organization, the NCDSMO operates under the authorities of National Security Memorandum 8, National Security Directive 42, and Executive Order 12333.

In accordance with National Security Memorandum 8, CDSs deployed on national security systems must comply with Raise the Bar (RTB), a set of CDS security requirements authored by the NCDSMO. Compliance with RTB is determined through the NCDSMO’s lab-based security assessment (LBSA). CDSs that have successfully completed LBSA (i.e., RTB compliant) are added to the NCDSMO’s CDS baseline list.
