    Introduction

    BEDES V2.2 - Marked Changes - Introduction Introduction BEDES, the Building Energy Data Exchange Specification, has been created by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), with the help of the many stakeholders of the BEDES Working Group, and funded by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), to help standardize and facilitate the exchange of information on building characteristics and energy use. It is intended to be used in tools and activities that help stakeholders make energy efficiency investment decisions, track building performance, and implement energy efficiency policies and programs. This spreadsheet represents the BEDES Dictionary Version 2.2 which will be used to support the analysis of the performance of buildings by providing a common set of terms and definitions for building characteristics, efficiency measures, and energy use. The terms and definitions in this BEDES Dictionary were taken from a variety of sources in order to be as complete as possible as well as being inclusive of the existing implementations that characterize the energy use in buildings. In order for the standardized terms and definitions of the BEDES Dictionary to be incorporated into different implementations, schemas and import/export formats will need to be developed for specific use cases by the appropriate stakeholders. This will allow compliance with BEDES, as described on the BEDES technical website (bedes.lbl.gov). After the release of version 2.0 in 2016, LBNL and DOE continued to work with numerous adopters of BEDES. Version 2.2 is based on feedback from this process, as well as from stakeholders in general. We have also updated the online interactive website that contains the BEDES Dictionary in a searchable format.

    Federal Transformation with SASE-Based TIC 3.0 Solutions

    WHITE PAPER Federal Transformation with SASE-based TIC 3.0 Solutions Zero-trust access with cloud-native advanced data and threat protection for cloud and web INTRODUCTION The Trusted Internet Connection (TIC) version 3.0 advances to a cloud-first perspective providing federal teams the opportunity to leverage cloud and mobility. While zero-trust network access (ZTNA) can replace legacy VPNs for direct access to private apps and resources in public cloud or private data centers, it requires pairing with cloud-native secure access service edge (SASE) networking and defenses. The difference from legacy web solutions that are cloud hosted—or in the cloud—from defenses designed to decode cloud traffic—or for the cloud—becomes very apparent when analyzing capabilities. At the core of SASE defenses is data context of cloud communications for granular policy controls, plus advanced data and threat protection. Why TIC 3.0? The modernization to version 3.0 of TIC expands upon the original program to drive security standards and leverage advances in technology as agencies adopt mobile and cloud environments. The goal of TIC 3.0 is to secure federal data, networks, and boundaries while providing visibility into agency traffic, including cloud communications. Originally established in 2007, TIC is a federal cybersecurity initiative intended to enhance network and perimeter security across the Federal Government. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB), the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security agency (CISA), and the General Services Administration (GSA) oversee the TIC initiative, setting requirements and an execution framework for agencies to implement a baseline perimeter or multi-boundary security standard.

    Magic Quadrant for Secure Web Gateways

    15/11/2019 Gartner Reprint Licensed for Distribution Magic Quadrant for Secure Web Gateways Published 11 November 2019 - ID G00380121 - 35 min read By Analysts Lawrence Orans, John Watts, Peter Firstbrook Rapid growth of cloud-based secure web gateway services has become a disruptive force in the market. SWG vendors are adding cloud access security broker, remote browser isolation, firewall and other advanced features to enhance the security of their platforms. Market Definition/Description The rapid adoption of SaaS applications such as Microsoft Office 365, Salesforce and others is driving enterprises to adopt cloud-based secure web gateway (SWG) services. Enterprises are rearchitecting their WANs so that web traffic from remote offices flows directly to the internet (via local internet breakout connections), instead of backhauling it over expensive MPLS links to a centralized data center. As part of this rearchitecture, enterprises are utilizing cloud-based security stacks, so that web traffic from remote offices first flows through a cloud security service (mostly SWG services) before it reaches its final internet destination. A secondary driver for the adoption of these cloud services is the need to protect mobile laptops when they are off the corporate network. We continue to see interest from enterprises seeking to integrate cloud access security broker (CASB) and SWG functionality. SWG vendors are responding to this trend, by either acquiring CASB technology or partnering with CASB providers (mainly Microsoft and its Cloud App Security service) to deliver more tightly integrated CASB and SWG solutions. CASB vendor Netskope is also addressing this trend, as it continues the development of its SWG solution introduced in 2018.
