MADISON
– The Wisconsin Security Research Consortium has signed a subcontract with
Altamira Technologies Corp., a technology company working to solve problems of
national importance, to support the Washington-based company’s “Indefinite
Delivery Indefinite Quantity” contracts.
One of
the many thrust areas of the agreement is working with “big data” and applying
data science analytical solutions to emerging security challenges.
Through
this partnership, the two organizations will be able to develop and support new
funded research initiatives that are complementary to the research assets found
in both organizations. General goals of the agreement include:
–
Support
workforce development in Wisconsin
–
Create
internship possibilities for Wisconsin students
–
Provide
opportunities for Wisconsin researchers to solve problems of national
importance
“We’re
thrilled about our expanding network of strategic partnerships such as WSRC
that accelerate innovative cyber, big data and analytical solutions to help
solve some of our customers’ most challenging problems,” said Jonathan
Moneymaker, chief strategy officer for Altamira Technologies Corp.
“This
partnership plays into the research strengths found in Wisconsin, which include
making sense of ‘big data’ and how that may apply to research work in
cybersecurity,” added Jack Heinemann, director of WSRC.
The
Wisconsin Security Research Consortium is a non-profit organization that
connects Wisconsin researchers with federal opportunities, often in sectors
such as national security. It is affiliated with the Wisconsin Technology
Council. The WSRC’s board of directors includes representatives of major
research institutions and private companies. The WSRC operates the Wisconsin
Information Security Center.
