SUMMARY: The Department of Homeland
Security (DHS) invites the general
public to comment on new data
collection forms for the Protected
Repository for the Defense of
Infrastructure Against Cyber Threats
(PREDICT) initiative. The PREDICT
initiative facilitates the accessibility of
computer and network operational data
for use in cyber defense research and
development through the establishment
of distributed repositories of securityrelevant network operations data, and
the application procedures, protection
policies, and review processes necessary
to make this data available to the cyber
defense research community. The forms
will allow the PREDICT initiative to
provide a central repository, accessible
through a Web-based portal
(<SECAUTH>) that catalogs current
computer network operational data,
provide secure access to multiple
sources of data collected as a result of
use and traffic on the Internet, and
facilitate data flow among PREDICT
participants for the purpose of
developing new models, technologies
and products that support effective
threat assessment and increase cyber
security capabilities. The Department is
committed to improving its PREDICT
initiative and invites interested persons
