Our Mission

The Center for Enterprise Modernization (CEM) helps federal agencies transform how they serve the American public—driving national prosperity, economic security, and improved citizen outcomes. We advance technology, streamline operations, and strengthen enterprise systems to deliver cost-effective, mission-critical solutions used by millions daily.

In partnership with the Department of Treasury and Internal Revenue Service—and co-sponsoring efforts with the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Commerce, and the Social Security Administration—CEM applies a whole-of-government approach to modernize federal operations.

In addition to our valued federal sponsors, CEM can support all civil federal agencies, extending MITRE’s capabilities to those without an established FFRDC, delivering rapid, tangible impact across the federal enterprise.

Our Impact

CEM’s deep expertise in technology and government missions powers a better, faster, more efficient government. We work with our sponsors and co-sponsors to:

  • Simplify and improve access to veterans' benefits
  • Optimize VA resources and eliminate redundancies
  • Support taxpayers with timely, accessible assistance
  • Detect fraud and reduce improper payments across federal programs
  • Protect U.S. intellectual property from adversaries
  • Strengthen and secure U.S. currency
  • Use economic statecraft to grow American jobs and influence
  • Support space traffic management for industry
  • Safeguard financial market stability and resilience
  • Enhance citizen experiences and outcomes

Developing Technical Solutions for the Digital Asset Community

CEM plays a key role in navigating emerging trends like cryptocurrency development and adoption by bolstering digital asset security. The MITRE AADAPT™ (Adversarial Actions in Digital Asset Payment Technologies) provides a comprehensive knowledge base that outlines adversary tactics and techniques against digital asset platforms, derived from real-world attacks, observations, and vulnerabilities.
