Current Software:

SD Elements Requirement: The SD Elements are required to support current Platform One daily operations. SD Elements gathers information about various projects and automatically generates threat modeling diagrams. By automating the generation of developer centric software threat models, developers are able to efficiently identify threats and know exactly where to implement required countermeasures.

This tool allows Platform One to enable security control compliance, secure app mission effects at the speed of relevance , while reducing time lost due to security related events. SD Elements is complexly integrated into the Party Bus Value Stream infrastructure. Party Bus (PB) is a P1 value stream that provides services to customer pipelines and offers a secure environment for programmers to develop under their Continuous Authority to Operate (cATO).

Party Bus offers a Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) kubernetes based platform and provides a secure, multi-tenant, and multi-classification environment with Staging and Production capabilities for the Department of Defense (DoD). This software will continue to provide the level of product support as is currently provided by the existing PB environment and is critical to maintaining the operational capabilities that Platform One provides to the warfighter.
