Information Sharing Environment: Annual Report to Congress – 2014

“This report is submitted by the Program Manager for the Information Sharing Environment (PM-ISE) on behalf of the President, as required by Section 1016 (h) (2) of the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act (IRTPA) of 2004, as amended. Accompanying, but distinct from this report, are substantial performance data and links to best practices, lessons learned, frameworks, and initiatives that are increasingly being packaged as reusable tools and accessed broadly via the Information Sharing Environment’s Web site: www.ise.govIn past years this material was directly integrated into this report. Accomplishments, opportunities, and the way forward described in this report are based on this qualitative and quantitative performance data, as reported to the Office of the Program Manager, Information Sharing Environment by various agencies; on performance trends year-by-year; and on the evolution of priority threats as they have been identified, and changes in our operating environment. Readers of this report are encouraged to dig deeper into specific topics of interest via our Web site.”

“Our national security and public safety rely upon responsible information sharing between federal, state, local, and tribal agencies, private sector entities, and international partners. Collaboration between all of these stakeholders is essential in order to create an enduring Information Sharing Environment (ISE) in which information is managed as a national asset, sharing and safeguarding are effectively integrated, and information sharing informs the decisions made to ensure the security of the nation and the safety of the American people. In order to progress we must strengthen and mature our management processes to better align disparate and independent efforts, within a strong foundation of protection for privacy, civil rights, and civil liberties.”
