Information Systems Security Program

Abstract

The Information Systems Security Program (ISSP) mission focuses on developing Department of Defense (DoD) enterprise solutions to Combatant Commands, Services, and Defense-wide agencies to ensure critical mission execution in the face of cyber attacks. The ISSP ensures that, the network, the computing centers, and core enterprise services will evolve to better support a joint cybersecurity/information assurance model that has common enterprise-scale perimeter defenses and will support a broad range of sharing policies from completely unclassified to tightly-held within a classified community. The ISSP will test and develop active-active defensive capabilities; test and integrate software defined networking and orchestration closed-loop security; perform research, development and engineering of emerging cyber situational awareness technologies; harden the network by providing architecture support, systems engineering and analytical functions for Endpoint and Perimeter defense capabilities; cyber IT infrastructure and automation support to deploy enterprise-wide next generation identity technologies; and develop and evolve an integrated cyber domain security workforce to be on the leading edge of defensive capabilities.

Change Summary Explanation
The increase of +$22.651 in FY2019 reflects a transfer of funding to Small Business Innovation research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs (-$0.066) and an increase of +$22.717 received through a congressional reprogramming action for Secure Application Development (DevSecOps) (+$4.500); Identity Credentialing and Access Management (ICAM) (+$12.200) and Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) (+$6.000). DevSecOps is to develop integrated tools and standards that enable users and partners to develop, deploy, and operate applications in a security and flexible environment. ICAM will standardize credentialing capabilities for secure access to mobile devices and ZTA implements the Department's security protocols by continuously verifying everyone within the network. The decrease of -$2.398 in FY 2020 is attributable to the Congressional directed transfer of Sharkseer from NSA to DISA ($1.882) and a Congressional general reduction of -$4.280 for unjustified growth. The decrease of -$3.982 in FY 2021 is due to an increase for Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) to further develop the DoD architectures for Zero-Trust Architecture and lab development (+$2.462) and a decrease due to the elimination of the DISA Cybersecurity Information Assurance Range, to avoid duplication of effort with the CYBERCOM Range under development. Also a reduction to cyber innovation and "DWR".
