  1. Department of Homeland Security use of Geo-security and Interoperable GIS Portals Clinton Libbey, Director of Business Development Harvard Design and Mapping 2005 Army Geospatial Conference

  2. HazardMaps.gov / GIS Portal Facts • From launch on May 2002 to May 2005: • 3 million+ maps drawn • 500,000+ unique visitors • 55+ WMS servers connected via internet • 2,300+ map layers • capable of connecting to unlimited layers and servers

  3. Department of Homeland Security – FEMAhttp://www.HazardMaps.gov • Incorporates Open GIS Consortium standards and open source technology to enable interoperability • Includes ultra-thin browser client and OGC compliant Web Map Server technology – no plug-ins or downloads required for users • Advanced GeoSecurity components protect data from unauthorized access • Hosted by HDM Interoperable Web Application GIS Services Real time mapping links to hundreds of data servers

  4. Department of Homeland Security – FEMAhttp://www.hazards.fema.gov • Multihazard Information Platform (MIP) Map Viewer, part of DHS/FEMA’s 5 year, $1 billion Map Modernization Program to redraw all flood data nationwide • Designed for public access to DHS/FEMA’s multihazard atlas database including flood data. • Design and specifications based on HazardMaps.gov site (GIS Portal) to incorporate Open GIS Consortium standards and open source technology to enable interoperability • Includes ultra-thin browser client and OGC compliant Web Map Server technology – no plug-ins or downloads required for users • Includes HDM’s GeoSecurity components protect data from unauthorized access • Hosted by IBM at their web hosting facility in Raleigh, NC Interoperable Web Application GIS Services Real time mapping links to hundreds of data servers

  5. What is GIS Portal? • Fully Open GIS standards compliant cascading WMS map server • Can access any OGC compatible data available on the internet or intranet • Presents users with integrated visualization of multiple GIS databases • Integrates with other OGC web services and server software, including ArcIMS

  6. Based on Interoperability and Standards HazardMaps.gov is DHS/FEMA’s official node on the National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) HazardMaps.gov is the official source for DHS/FEMA Flood Map Data on the Geography Network (WMS Service) All DHS/FEMA Flood Data Metadata are FGDC Compliant. HazardMaps.gov includes hundreds of data layers with full FGDC metadata HazardMaps.gov is one of only 7 active web services listed in the OGC Service Directory

Transportation Surface Waters Geodetic Control Elevation Aerial Imagery Flood Land Ownership Boundaries HazardMaps.gov Interoperable Portal Architecture Web Browser (thin client) Secure GIS Client Results Oriented Citizen Centric HazardMaps.gov com, gov, edu, org, int, mil State, Local, Tribal (SLT) FEMA Enterprise / Homeland Security GeoSecurity Market Based Market Based Agency All Hazards Portal MMI / HazardMaps.gov Hazard Atlas Data Exchange Metadata Hazards Data Catalog WMS WFS Standards Based: OGC NSDI FGDC Geospatial One Stop

  8. GeoSecurity™ - Geospatial Data ProtectionRole Based Access Control (RBAC) • The first Security program specifically designed for GIS data • Customized policies and procedures • Protects geospatial data through custom algorithms for map layers and layer features • Integrates with existing system security software • Java based programming • Server Software • Web Service Patent Pending Security of GIS data is crucial for all government and commercial data producers and stewards

  9. Auto-sync with higher level Portal Security Integrated Cascading Effect GIS Portal GIS Portal Secured GIS Data Public GIS Data GeoSecurity ESRI AutoDesk Smallworld GeoMedia MapInfo OGC WMS, WFS Compatible GeoSecurity Functional Diagram User User PKI Certificates Accepted Control access to multi-GIS format data – local or remote – map layers Access to specific GIS data approved Access to specific GIS data approved

  10. Use of GeoSecurity by DHS • Controls access to local or remote combined data layers • Portal and local level access control • DHS can instantly increase the security level of any or all map layers in case of an emergency (ensures first responder access) • Configured to meet DHS specific requirements • DHS users access sensitive data layers • Public access of open GIS data sets • Enables a single web service for secure environments through PKI and public access • Eliminates duplication of data

  11. GIS Portal and GeoSecurity Integration • GeoSecurity builds on the power of GIS Portal to control access to OGC WMS and WFS compatible data anywhere on the internet or intranets • Integrates additional public and private available GIS databases worldwide with full access control • Access multi-location, multi-office data, in multiple GIS formats with local and / or portal level role based access controls • Access local, state, federal government data • Access public and private company data while maintaining data confidentiality

  12. Summary • Integrated Architecture Enables Secure Access to Data in a Public Network • PKI Enabled Security ensures authorization over open Internet • Open Architecture allows Federal Government to leverage other GIS Initiatives • New WMS or WFS Servers can be easily added • Additional State GIS Systems • County GIS Servers • Other Federal Agencies • Commercial Services can be Integrated • Real Time Weather and Natural Hazards Data Feed – InsMap • Geocode Global • ImageConnect from GlobeXplorer
