MasterPeace LaunchPad was very excited to host the first of three collaborative workshops with Snorkel AI last Wednesday to train engineers on the use of Snorkel Flow, an AI data development platform for programmatic data operations.

 

Nearly 30 attendees learned about Snorkel Flow's capabilities that allow subject matter experts and data scientists to collaborate within a powerful, common platform to label data at machine speed and scale. Since labeled data is essential to enable training and validation of today's data-hungry machine learning models, but can be in short supply, Snorkel Flow fills a critical and persistent need in this space. Participants gave the workshop glowing reviews, and we expect many of them back for the follow-on workshops that will go into greater depth.

 

We at MasterPeace are thrilled to announce that this series of workshops is among the first of several technology-focused workshops and events that we plan to host in the coming months using our Technology Capability Team (TCT) model. If you are a cleared technologist and are interested in learning more about MasterPeace or attending the Snorkel tech sessions, please contact machinelearning@masterpeaceltd.com for the details of next workshop in mid-December.

COLUMBIA, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MasterPeace Solutions, provider of critical government cyber and intelligence services and commercial IT security needs, today announced the acquisition of Northern, Va.-based Full Suite Solutions (FSS), a provider of software and services to Northern Virginia intelligence community clients. FSS Co-Founders, Paul and Cait von Schnetlage, will remain with the company in a leadership capacity and will support the integration of these two people-centric businesses. MasterPeace’s expansion into Northern Virginia will address critical workforce skills gap with an innovative platform that focuses on providing engineers unmatched opportunities to develop their skills and remain on the cutting edge of the technology curve.

​

For the last decade, FSS has been committed to the defense and security of our nation’s most high-risk organizations.

Engineers will have the opportunity and leadership support to follow their dreams, nurture their creativity, and even create their own technology companies through the MasterPeace LaunchPad accelerator. Engineers will be presented with opportunities to do the work they want, in the environment they want and develop the skills they want, while supporting missions and customers they believe in.

​

To ensure a smooth transition, MasterPeace Solutions has hired Jeanine Callahan as the Senior Vice President of MasterPeace Technology Services to lead the FSS integration and MasterPeace expansion to Northern Virginia. Callahan has supported the Intelligence Community for over 30 years and has extensive experience maturing and scaling small and mid-sized businesses. Most recently as Vice President of Corporate Operations at Plus3 IT Systems and previously Chief Growth Officer at Eagle Ray, Callahan is also a board member on the Intelligence National Security Alliance (INSA).

“We are not the typical government services company. Our success stems from putting our people first and focusing on being a great partner to our primes,” said Drew Cohen, President and CEO of MasterPeace Solutions. “We are excited to work with Paul, Cait, and the entire FSS team and offer their engineers access to more assignment mobility and choices for career development. With the addition of Jeanine, we will have the leadership bandwidth to integrate FSS and MasterPeace and realize synergies for our clients and employees.”

​

MasterPeace will include FSS in its technology-focused capability teams, including: Machine Learning/Big Data Analytics; Full Spectrum Cyber and Network Operations; User Experience and Design; and Cloud DevOps. This will extend and enhance MasterPeace’s current capabilities while simultaneously making their integrated competencies available to a broader set of clients and missions. Customers will benefit greatly as the combination of these industry luminary filled companies join forces.

​

“Working with the MasterPeace team is an exciting opportunity for us at FSS,” said Cait von Schnetlage, Co-Founder of FSS. “MasterPeace doesn’t just say their people are their number one priority, they demonstrate it, by attracting the best and most innovative minds in the area, allowing them to have the freedom to do what they are most passionate about while also supporting government services projects. MasterPeace has the scalable infrastructure for important contributions to the betterment of National Security from both public and private sectors, while embracing every employee for the unique skills and abilities they bring to the table. We look forward to leveraging their expertise in this fast-paced and growing industry.”

Drew Cohen, President & CEO of MasterPeace, will be speaking at RSA 2020 on a panel titled, “Putting Access Management for the Internet of Things into Practice with MUD.” The panel discussion will summarize the various public and private sector methods for documenting and applying the top security practices for IoT. Additionally, industry collaborations exploring the implementation of Manufacturer Usage Description (MUD) Specification (RFC 8520) will be discussed.

 

“MUD makes it possible for manufacturers to define ‘device intent,’ allowing network security vendors to use that information to ensure ‘safe’ network conditions,” said Drew Cohen, President & CEO of MasterPeace Solutions. “Working with NIST and others, our Yikes! startup has demonstrated how MUD-enabled products create opportunities that change the landscape for secure device management on small business and consumer networks. MUD allows security automation to be built into consumer and small business networking products, to establish the appropriate security policies for each device, and decrease the threat surface, without complex system administration.”

 

During the discussion, Drew will elaborate on these topics and, with other panelists, speak about the collaboration between the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST), MasterPeace, Arm, CableLabs, Cisco, CTIA, DigiCert, ForeScout, Global Cyber Alliance, Molex, Patton Electronics, and Symantec, who are all working towards solutions that will make it harder for threat actors to exploit IoT devices used by both homes and small businesses. Many of these IoT devices have software flaws that can be easily compromised by threat actors. To combat this, the partnership has published a practice guide titled, Securing Small-Business and Home Internet of Things (IoT) Devices: Mitigating Network-Based Attacks Using Manufacturer Usage Description (MUD), a free description of solutions and practical steps that consumers and small businesses can use to mitigate these IoT-based threats.

 

Joining Drew on this panel are:

• Professor L. Jean Camp from Indiana University

• Eliot Lear, Principal Engineer of Cisco-Enterprise Chief Technology Office

• Mudumbai Ranganathan, Computer Engineer from NIST

• Darshak Thakore, Principal Architect of CableLabs

 

The panel will take place February 27, 8:00am to 8:50am at Moscone West. To reserve seats click here.

Edward Stanford, the Founder and CTO of MasterPeace LaunchPad startup Zuul IoT, spoke to Technical.ly Baltimore's Stephen Babcock about how last week's Windows Security flaw could be exploited, and the potentially broad ramifications for both home users and enterprise systems. 

 

“You can use that weakness to make Windows [10] systems download and install software that appears to be coming from Microsoft that is not,” said Stanford. “This is bad. If you do it right then you can take over most networks or computers that are Windows-based. The faster they get patched, the less true that statement will be.”

MasterPeace LaunchPad CEO Bill Olsen helped cap off Baltimore Innovation Week’s third annual Minority Innovation weekend by taking part in a panel that helped judge the effectiveness of several minority-affiliated startups’ business model pitch presentations. Olsen’s participation was part of his ongoing outreach to local entrepreneurial technology groups, done in part to increase MasterPeace LaunchPad’s visibility in the Central Maryland community.

 

An anti-cyberbullying mobile application, online legal services platform, and a company focused on facilitating the sale and purchase of vehicle parking assets were judged to be the winners of the event, and as a result received a six-month membership to the Incubate Baltimore program, which offers resources including mentorship and potential seed capital.

MasterPeace LaunchPad, a technology accelerator that functions inside MasterPeace Solutions Ltd.’s government services business, today announced the initiation of their newest cohort class. MasterPeace’s program is modeled after the Lean LaunchPad start-up Business and Engineering school class taught at Stanford University, based on a methodology created by entrepreneur Steve Blank to support the launch of commercially focused technology companies.

​

Led by Director of LaunchPad Operations, William Olsen, this program covers all the technical and business aspects required to transform a startup concept into a viable commercial business, rather than just coaching cohort members on giving fundraising pitches or product demos. Last year’s 2018 graduates of the MasterPeace LaunchPad program created new companies including Yikes, which has contributed network security, engineering, and operations defense expertise to the NIST-led consortium for Mitigating IoT-Based DDoS, and Zuul, currently deploying national transportation market solutions for securing connected devices and payment systems. Another cohort from last year’s class, FactChain, will officially launch and begin selling product in the fall of 2019.

​

“MasterPeace LaunchPad is diversifying Maryland’s economic base by leveraging its Cyber and Technology talent pool to create new product companies and career opportunities for engineers who have previously focused on the Government Contracting sector,” said Drew Cohen, MasterPeace President and CEO. “We are glad to have the opportunity to support this new group of talented individuals and are eager to continue providing a platform for our engineers to create and launch new product companies.”

​

The five new SpinCo teams that comprise MasterPeace LaunchPad’s 2019 cohort class, some of which may turn into commercial companies that ultimately “spin out”, are working to build businesses that deliver unique technology to the marketplace. Two examples of the new startup’s offerings are described below:

​

ElectraZoom, an IoT enablement platform and device toolkit that provides one click onboarding of IoT devices into a mixed vendor/device environment. The ElectraZoom platform controls, manages, and monitors devices in a consistent manner, and is able to perform functions and interoperate in a network of heterogenous IoT devices. Users pick the IoT device they want and are not locked into what is available from a single manufacturer. The platform supports industrial enterprises in implementing machine learning, surveillance, factory automation, and more.

​

DataLocker, developed by LaunchPad’s Uplift Portfolio Service team as their first AWS service, offers PII-Data-Management-as-a-service to manage and store encrypted PII and HIPAA data to ensure that if a company is breached, critical information is not taken in the process. Advanced analytics monitor and block queries that are potentially malicious, alerting the SOC/CIRT and identifying the potential threat before the data loss. This reduces risk and cost, and will be an AWS marketplace service that can be easily added to existing AWS solutions. With a few simple configuration settings, this capability can be engaged and a company’s critical PII data is secured.

​

Following the completion of the LaunchPad Program, each company will showcase their technology at Demo Day in early February 2020. MasterPeace’s 2018 Demo Day included attendees such as Maryland Lieutenant Governor, Boyd Rutherford, and Howard County Executive, Calvin Ball.

​

“From our Innovation Center to the locally-based MasterPeace LaunchPad, Howard County is on the cutting edge of economic growth. By creating a culture that welcomes new businesses, leverages our strategic location, and utilizes our talented workforce, our community continues to be a land of opportunity,” said Howard County Executive, Calvin Ball. “I congratulate the new cohort class at MasterPeace and look forward to the innovative business ideas they are sure to create.”

The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) announced that it has taken steps to formalize internet standards in regards to Manufactured User Descriptions (MUDs). MUD allows manufacturers to specify the intended network behaviors of the devices they build. MasterPeace engineers actively participated in this standard, and also developed an open source MUD Manager, osMUD.org, that implements the MUD standard. The MUD Manager communicates with network services, detecting when devices enter and leave the network and automatically implements network security rules based on a device’s MUD specification. In addition, Yikes!, a commercial startup incubated within the MasterPeace LaunchPad accelerator, will deliver a commercial product, available later this spring. The Yikes! product will bring automated, state-of-the-art network security and management, including MUD, to small business and consumer networks.

A newly launched MasterPeace LaunchPad cyber startup, Yikes!, is looking to market technology that could prevent internet-connected devices from infecting the networks in people's homes and small businesses.  When a new smart device comes on a network, it has a URL web address. Using that URL, Yikes! technology could check with the manufacturer to get specific information about what the device is supposed to do. Devices can then be classified, segmented and monitored on a home or small business network, to ensure no device is behaving in ways it shouldn't, or allowing potentially harmful external forces to gain access.

 

The company is currently working to validate its technology through an ongoing project with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Yikes! plans to begin selling to consumers by the end of the first quarter next year. Yikes! plans to pilot test internally at MasterPeace, and is in the process of identifying managed services providers, or IT services providers, as potential distribution partners.

MasterPeace LaunchPad hosted its 3rd annual Demo Day, which took place on Wednesday, December 5th. Attendees were joined by a notable group of state and local influencers and industry speakers, including Lt. Governor Boyd Rutherford, Howard County Executive Calvin Ball, and former Tenable CEO/Chairman Ron Gula, to discuss the growing Maryland Cyber startup eco-system. The Zuul IoT, FactChain, Uplift and newly unveilved Yikes! startup teams treated attendees to demonstrations of four products taking shape in the MasterPeace LaunchPad accelerator. MasterPeace leadership also provided some insights into how it is helping these startups put Lean LaunchPad methodologies into practice, including a virtual shout out from Lean LaunchPad creator and author Steve Blank.

  

The discussion highlighted the significant progress MasterPeace has made as it leverages the region's engineering talent to contribute to Central Maryland's development as a hub of commercial technology innovation. The four startup products on display also showcased the breadth of MasterPeace LaunchPad's development approach, which utilizes a broad range of cutting-edge technologies including IoT PKI, Blockchain, AWS Lambdas, and Software Defined Networking and Micro-nets.

 

As MasterPeace CEO Drew Cohen put it, “The key to MasterPeace LaunchPad’s success is our talent. The Columbia area is a world class resource for cyber and engineering talent, but the vast majority of that talent is deployed in Federal Government or Commercial services companies. MasterPeace LaunchPad provides a platform for those individuals to create and launch new product companies, scale the impact of their skills to a global market and become an engine for the region’s continued economic growth. This is the reason key state and county officials like Lt. Gov. Rutherford and County Executive Ball, along with proven Cyber entrepreneurs like Ron Gula, are willing to take time from their business schedules to support our startups.”

MasterPeace Solutions has announced osMUD, an open source project to reduce the vulnerability of IoT devices within consumer and small business environments based on the new IETF MUD standard. The project was shared with NIST's National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) and will be further developed as one of the first open source Manufacturer Usage Description (MUD) managers.

​

The project will rely upon the combined expertise of device manufacturers, security vendors and administrators to proactively and automatically secure IoT endpoint. Implementing MUD in routers and network devices will assure that IoT connected devices do not communicate with or access places that are not approved ahead of time. Together, the consortium will produce a NIST Cybersecurity Practice Guide, a freely available description of the solution and practical steps needed to help consumers and small businesses mitigate IoT-based threats.
