Information sharing modernization

Challenge: DHS delivers timely intelligence and enables real-time collaboration across organizations for natural disasters, security events, and other crises. These organizations include federal, state, local, territorial, tribal, international, private sector, and first responders. DHS’ Homeland Security Information Network (HSIN) played a pivotal role during the COVID-19 pandemic, supporting vaccine distribution and operations through the coordination of hundreds of organizations. This demand resulted in unprecedented pressure on DHS’ decade-old information sharing network, exposing its limitations.

Approach: With TMF support, DHS is rebuilding its information sharing system as a cloud native platform with modern tools that will:

• Scale up to meet peaks in demand during emergencies
• Provide improved access and security
• Allow better content sharing and discoverability
• Better connect HSIN partners to each other for closer collaboration
• Provide easy and secure access to mobile platforms and other devices for remote work
