Information sharing & cyber threats

This manuscript intends to explore the application of a specific secure data environment within different prototypes of information sharing. It focuses on data management with confidence and agility for the exchange of information. Through discussion and examples, the paper explores the landscape surrounding sensitive data sets. In particular, the paper looks at the application of data sharing related to the Federal Statistical Research Data Centers (FSRDC). It outlines the security required for these facilities and the motivations it takes to create them. FSRDC creates a federal/private partnership to improve the quality of the data collection and output visualization. There is a necessary balance between the creation/protection of big data and the accessibility to utilize the assets created.
