TIDE (Threat Identification, Determination, and Evaluation)
Established in 1963, the R&D 100 Awards is the only S&T (science and technology) awards competition that recognizes new commercial products, technologies and materials for their technological significance that are available for sale or license. The R&D 100 Awards have long been a benchmark of excellence for industry sectors as diverse as telecommunications, high-energy physics, software, manufacturing, and biotechnology.
This year's R&D 100 2020 winner is listed below in their respective category.
Category: Software/Services
Developers: Argonne National Laboratory
Co-Developers: U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS’s) Federal Protective Service (FPS)
United States
Product Description:TIDE (Threat Identification, Determination, and Evaluation), developed by Argonne National Laboratory, is the most comprehensive, generally applicable and thoroughly vetted facility threat assessment tool available today. TIDE provides security professionals with a more effective, efficient and cost-effective way to evaluate threats to facilities, and to identify threat-specific mitigation options. Moreover, TIDE provides a more customized, defensible and repeatable threat assessment that security professionals can use with confidence when making their recommendations to stakeholders. The TIDE solution eliminates the subjective or text-based evaluations of threat often found with other approaches. TIDE ensures that the issue of threat is addressed at the beginning of an assessment process. This allows security professionals to immediately finalize any mitigation recommendations based on likely threats, rather than waiting for a written report, or worse, making their mitigation recommendations prior to arrival of the threat assessment. TIDE ensures that facilities can maximize their security postures with available resources.
