NAVSEA Boundary Defense Capability

Abstract

The purpose of this effort is to define and develop enterprise Combat System cybersecurity solutions that will provide a set of boundary defense capabilities for the Combat System, a set of centralized Combat Systems-level cybersecurity capabilities, and a set of element-level cybersecurity protections. The boundary defense capabilities will protect and detect threats entering and leaving the Combat System. The centralized Combat System-level cybersecurity capabilities will provide cyber situational awareness and management (e.g. malware detection, file integrity verification, etc.) of various cybersecurity protection and detection capabilities. Element-level cybersecurity protections will provide additional measures to ensure system integrity. Planning will also commence for the integration of the Combat System elements and sensors into the boundary defense and centralized cybersecurity capabilities. The development of a cyber-resilient Combat System security architecture will include the integration of cybersecurity into Combat System and element-level system engineering processes, to include developing and flowing Combat System cybersecurity requirements down to the individual elements and sensors to ensure a consistent cyber security posture across the entire Combat System. Development of enterprise Combat System risk management processes will occur, to include the following: a vulnerability management process across the Combat System to provide the flexibility for periodic cybersecurity updates once security capabilities are fielded; and system-of-systems risk assessment methodology to support Combat System execution of the Risk Management Framework.
