Q&A session from the JCE Industry Day held on August 15, 2023. The Joint Collaborative Environment (JCE) is a new architectural construct that will integrate existing programs and introduce new capabilities. The Cyber Analytic Data System (CADS) will play a crucial role in fulfilling the JCE's low-side analytic environment data integration and data analysis requirements. The JCE is expected to leverage machine learning and artificial intelligence technologies to enhance cyber analytics and response capabilities. Additionally, the document highlights that no specific acquisition plan has been developed yet, and future solicitations will be communicated through the CISA contracting office as needed.

The JCE Industry Day Q&A session addresses inquiries regarding contracting opportunities, program impacts on existing missions, acquisition timelines, technology integration, compliance adherence, and data management strategies. It emphasizes the collaborative nature of the JCE, its reliance on existing infrastructure while allowing for evolution, and the potential use of AI/ML functionalities in its solution strategy. The document also mentions upcoming RFIs for further engagement with industry partners and outlines the overarching vision of data analysis and integration within the JCE framework.
