Four students from George Mason University worked this spring with DoD’s Vulnerability Disclosure Program (VDP) to improve the onboarding of Defense Industrial Base companies. As part of an NSIN Capstone project, the students looked for ways automation via artificial intelligence could reduce the resources required while facilitating smoother client acquisition and communication. The resulting recommendations included creating an onboarding cloud-based portal where Defense Industrial Base companies (DIBCOs) are guided with chat-bot assistance while onboarding the Defense Industrial Base Vulnerability Disclosure Program.
