Cyber Wiki page planned

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security intends to contract with WiiKno, a Texas-based knowledge management solutions provider, to create a Wiki page for the agency that will be used to share information among the National Cyber Security Center and its six federal cybersecurity centers, according to a notice posted this week on the Federal Business Opportunities website. The Wiki page will offer a "development platform for improved situational awareness" for communication and collaboration related to national cybersecurity plans. — DK
