The Pentagon\u2019s zero-trust office is on a mission to develop and test a plan for organizing its reams of data by the end of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the TechNet Cyber conference<\/a> presented by the Armed Forces Communications & Electronics Association International in Baltimore last month, Randy Resnick, director of the Zero Trust Portfolio Management Office, said tagging and labeling, <\/a>the practice of assigning metadata and identifiers to pieces of data, has been a long-term challenge for the department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey\u2019ve been apparently working on this for 12 or more years \u201415 years \u2014 and I think it\u2019s time enough to do something,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By way of an update on these efforts, Resnick said he approved three pilot programs in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Defense Chief Data and Artificial Intelligence Office and the Department of Homeland Security to develop a plan that would allow for all the necessary conversions and interpretations to process any data tagging and labeling standard in an understandable,repeatable way.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
