Project Remedies Inc. Joins the Consortium for System of System Security (SOSSEC)

 
PACIFIC PALISADES, Calif. - April 6, 2015 - PRLog -- Project Remedies is now a member of the Consortium for System of Systems Security (SOSSEC) Inc., which was created to provide best of breed prototype security solutions to the Federal Government.

The New Hampshire based Consortium, SOSSEC Inc., was created in 2004 and provides collaboration, innovation, and cooperation among a broad spectrum of industry, academia and non-profits that vastly improves the products and services delivered to their clients. SOSSEC also provides business development, support services and quality control to it members. The advantage to Federal Government is the consortium is mandated to provide the bridge from research and development into operational prototypes.

Stan Feinstein, President of Project Remedies Inc. (PRI), said: “Being a member of SOSSEC will allow our Federal Customers to develop prototypes outside the FAR or DFAR using the streamlined Other Transaction Authority (OTA) SOSSEC offers. In addition we will have a large range of collaborative partners from the Consortium to help us with technical or logistical challenges.”

Project Remedies Inc. (PRI) provides its innovative and adaptive Remedy-based project portfolio management system, ActionProgram Manager Plus™ (APM Plus), as well as its Cyber Action Suite™ (CAS) to both companies and to government agencies.

Project Remedies’ products, utilize the BMC Remedy Action Request System to aggregate, prioritize and automatically build project plans for any size of project. ActionProgram Manager Plus™ also tasks staff and statuses these projects into one location with near real-time performance metrics. Feinstein pointed out that, “BeingRemedy-based offers our clients a wide range of use-cases not offered by any other project portfolio management system.  This added value is the “plus” in ActionProgram Manager Plus.”

PRI’s new Cyber Action Suite™ provides a cybersecurity-focused capability to manage the whole cyber remediation life-cycle.  Based on NIST’s Special Publication 800-63 on Incident Handling. Feinstein continued: “Most remediation response efforts are managed as a ‘punch lists’ of actions, with lots disjointed project management efforts behind the scenes. Little effort is spent on tracking the people resources doing the work.  Cyber Action Suite™ simplifies the management of Cybersecurity events and incidents by providing standardized remediation project plans, real-time insight into the staff available to work on each task, as well as visibility into the status and cost of each task and project.”

“Managing incident response is a critical requirement of the new Federal Cybersecurity Framework, which provides Cybersecurity guidance for the government, as well as the public and private sector IT. Cyber Action Suite™ continues development research to facilitate real-time knowledge sharing and operational metrics between fix teams and managers.”

Project Remedies Inc. was started in 1993 to support users of the BMC’s Remedy Action Request System.  Soon clients asked for Remedy-based project management functionality in order to handle complex requests, to manage all of these projects in one place and to better understand what each resource was doing.  PRI has continued to expand on that original model to create its current suite of applications, moving from helpdesk initiated project management to include program management, project portfolio management, project risk management, governance, resource management and time and expense tracking across all Remedy tasks, and now cyber remediation management.  ActionProgram Manager Plus also includes a bi-directional interface with MS Project making it possible to share project management data across the BMC and MS Project platforms.

Adds Feinstein, “Given Project Remedy’s focus on the development of Cybersecurity and innovative Project and Program management capabilities, this community can really help us to help our Federal Customers develop the innovative solutions to the unprecedented security challenges of out times.”
