MITRE-ATARC Mobile Collaboration Symposium
The MITRE-ATARC Mobile Collaboration Symposium features discussion and white-boarding between government and industry subject matter experts in a small-group setting. The outcomes of these sessions will be compiled in a White Paper with recommendations to the government.
Mobile Challenge Areas
1. Mobile App Vetting Tools & Trends
This session will detail the current state of the practice of app vetting and will focus will be identifying challenges left to solve, and eliciting recommendations for solutions to those challenges. The session will discuss current app vetting guidance and processes that people are following, review list of app vetting tools and services that are popular. It will also identify where tools need improvements, and provide recommendations to commercial vendors to improve their app vetting tools.

2. Mobile Pilot Challenges and Lessons Learned
This session will discuss mobility pilots across the government and identify key lessons learned and challenges that need to be overcome to run a successful mobility pilot. This will also discus how to identify apps to use to ensure successful missions. This session will focus on lessons learned that span people, process and technology and will produce information that will be published in a Mobile Pilot Best Practice Guide.

3. Access Control Patterns for the Mobile Device World
Mobile devices, together with cloud migration and the dissolving enterprise perimeter, are forcing a re-think of enterprise access control methods. Desktop authentication protocols built for trusted LANs are not a good fit for mobile devices that travel between trusted and untrusted networks and may have little to no enterprise policy or control. This session will explore emerging and current practice access control mechanisms for restricting enterprise access to authenticated and authorized users. Risk-adaptive access control (RAdAC), API gateways, OAuth, SAML, PKI, and OpenID Connect could all have a part to play in mobile access control. We will discuss what is currently working, and provide recommendations on where further research and investments are needed to improve the status quo.

4. Internet of Things
This session will examine the current and future impact of the Internet of Everything on the Federal government and private citizen. The session will focus on the cyber physical aspects of this domain, and the impact these systems will have on key sectors such as transportation and healthcare. The session will also discuss and identify the security challenges faced with securing the systems, applications and data.

5. Mobilizing Legacy Government Applications
As the Federal government moves toward a mobile workforce, how can legacy government applications such as a case management system be mobilized to meet the needs of workers in the field? This session will examine the strides made by agencies in mobilizing legacy applications and discuss the challenges faced during these projects.
