Cybersecurity Engineering Program

Abstract

The Cybersecurity Engineering Program is focused on developing designs and solutions to protect the BMDS from existing and emerging cyber threats through coherent cybersecurity systems engineering. Program goals include: - Ensure Cybersecurity is integrated into the Acquisition Process. - Assess the Cybersecurity Architecture to address gaps/disconnects, enhance interoperability, and realize efficiencies across all mission systems. Define the ''As Built'' and ''To Be'' Cybersecurity Systems Engineering concepts to strengthen technical assessments and cybersecurity design solutions and implementation recommendations impacted by the change in requirements. -- Develop and coordinate near-term and long-term engineering changes to the BMDS -- Develop requirements for building cybersecurity into incremental BMDS Hardware and Software builds -- Monitor allocation of these requirements to the Elements. -- Recommend updates to the BMDS Core Standards, including Cyber-related requirements specified by the Agency, the Combatant Commanders (CCMDs), the DoD, and the Federal Government. -- Perform cybersecurity systems engineering assessments for proposed BMD System Specification and interface changes and additions. - Provide and recommend updates to cybersecurity systems engineering policy and guidance for BMDS system design and acquisition to enhance BMDS resiliency against cyber threats - Implement cybersecurity engineering resiliency techniques. - Provide objectives and requirements for Cybersecurity testing. - Provide independent cybersecurity reviews at critical engineering milestones. - Provide information system security engineering by assessing cybersecurity requirements, design, and implementations and provide recommendations to address architecture gaps or shortfalls. - Implement cyber threat mitigation strategies within BMDS architecture, design, system requirements, and specifications documentation to ensure traceability to necessary components and interfaces that make up the BMDS mission. - Coordinate evaluation of cybersecurity capability during BMDS tests. - Develop verification and assessment strategies for system cybersecurity requirements. Specific and/or unique accomplishments to each FY are as follows:
