ISE Mission & VisionInformation Sharing EnvironmentISE_c469f7fe-e55f-11e4-94b8-f2c0de3d8a72The Information Sharing Environment (ISE) broadly refers to the people, projects, systems, and agencies that enable responsible information sharing for national security.ISE CommunityThis includes many different communities: law enforcement, public safety, homeland security, intelligence, defense, and foreign affairs. The people in these communities may work for federal, state, local, tribal, or territorial governments. They may also need to collaborate and share national security information with each other, private sector partners, or our foreign allies. While they work in different disciplines and have varying roles and responsibilities, they all rely on timely and accurate information to achieve their national security mission responsibilities.Law Enforcement CommunityPublic Safety CommunityHomeland Security CommunityIntelligence CommunityDefense CommunityForeign Affairs CommunityKshemendra PaulThe Program Manager for the Information Sharing Environment (PM-ISE) is Kshemendra Paul. The PM-ISE has government-wide authority to plan, oversee the build-out, and manage use of the ISE. He also co-chairs the White House's Information Sharing and Access Interagency Policy Committee (ISA-IPC). The office of the PM-ISE works with the communities described above to improve the management, discovery, and sharing of counterterrorism, homeland security, and WMD information. Examples of this include terrorism watchlisting, person and cargo screening, and suspicious activity reporting. Information Sharing and Access Interagency Policy Committee (ISA-IPC)ISE Mission PartnersFederal agencies and state, local, tribal, and private sector partners -- the ISE Mission Partners -- have the responsibility to help protect our people and our institutions. The office of the PM-ISE facilitates the development of the responsible information sharing by bringing together mission partners and aligning business processes, standards and architecture, security and access controls, privacy protections, and best practices.Federal AgenciesState PartnersLocal PartnersTribal PartnersPrivate Sector PartnersNational security through responsible information sharing_c469f7ff-e55f-11e4-94b8-f2c0de3d8a72_c469f800-e55f-11e4-94b8-f2c0de3d8a72Counterterrorism, Homeland Security & CybersecurityAdvance responsible information sharing to further counterterrorism, homeland security, and cybersecurity missions_c469f801-e55f-11e4-94b8-f2c0de3d8a721ArchitectureTransform the domestic information sharing architecture to better identify and respond to threats_c469f802-e55f-11e4-94b8-f2c0de3d8a721.1CapabilitiesBuild and deliver capabilities to manage, integrate, and make sense of vast stores of information_c469f803-e55f-11e4-94b8-f2c0de3d8a721.2CybersecurityEnhance cybersecurity information sharing by extending the use of ISE tools_c469f804-e55f-11e4-94b8-f2c0de3d8a721.3Decision MakingImprove nationwide decision making by transforming from information ownership to stewardship_c469f84e-e55f-11e4-94b8-f2c0de3d8a722AcquisitionAchieve greater interoperability through standards-based acquisition_c469f8f8-e55f-11e4-94b8-f2c0de3d8a722.1Networks & SystemsDrive responsible information sharing by interconnecting existing networks and systems with strong identity, access, and discovery capabilities_c469f9a2-e55f-11e4-94b8-f2c0de3d8a722.2Policies & AgreementsStandardize, reuse, and automate information sharing policies and agreements with strong protection of privacy, civil liberties, and civil rights_c469fa74-e55f-11e4-94b8-f2c0de3d8a722.3PartnershipsPromote partnerships across federal, state, local, and tribal governments, the private sector, and internationally_c469fb3c-e55f-11e4-94b8-f2c0de3d8a723Organizational CapacityBuild organizational capacity through engagement, coordination, training, and management support_c469fbd2-e55f-11e4-94b8-f2c0de3d8a723.1Cultural ChangeEncourage cultural change through communities of action_c469fc86-e55f-11e4-94b8-f2c0de3d8a723.22015-04-17http://www.ise.gov/mission-and-visionOwenAmburOwen.Ambur@verizon.net
