Information Systems Security Program (ISSP)

Abstract

This program supports the Department's initiatives to Defend the Homeland and Build Sustainable and Long-Term Advantage. The DoD CIO Information Systems Security Program (ISSP) provides for focused research, development, testing and integration of technology and technical solutions critical to the Defense Cybersecurity and Information Assurance (CS&IA) Program to meet the requirements of 10 USC 2224 (Defense Information Assurance Program), 44 USC 3544, (Federal Information Security Management Act of 2002), OMB Circular A-130, DoD Directives/Instructions 8500, 8510, 8520, 8530, and 8540, and Executive Order 14028 “Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity”. This program is funded under Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development, because it integrates technology and technical solutions to the Defense CS&IA Program. ISSP RDT&E supports the DoD CIO and its mission partners: on architecting, engineering, and technical matters for developing governance processes and structures; on evolving and enabling a more integrated and synchronized DOD information environment that provides a network of shared core enterprise services for integrated information sharing and collaboration and to close identified gaps across all mission areas; on the protection of National Security Systems; on the adoption of zero trust cybersecurity principles; on the continued development of the U.S. Government’s ability to prevent and defend against adversarial and/or commercial information and communications technology supply-chain attacks on its mission critical systems, networks, and devices; on improving oversight of the life-cycle management of cybersecurity risks; and on the integration of cybersecurity standards, methods, and procedures across the DoD for a more robust and resilient cybersecurity posture.
