Joint Federated Assurance Center

Abstract

This project funds the operation software and hardware assurance(SwA and HwA) support to DoD programs and organizations of the Joint Federated Assurance Center (JFAC), established in National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) Sec 937, to increase DoD’s SwA and HwA by providing engineering tools, technical services, best-practices, innovative technologies and other assistance to programs to detect, assess, prioritize, and mitigate vulnerabilities from malicious software and hardware attacks and assurance against supply chain exploitation vulnerabilities. The JFAC will provide capabilities for programs to keep assessment findings throughout the life cycle of their systems for data mining (e.g., documentation on rationale for previous mitigation decisions). The collaboration between the JFAC and program offices will help mitigate existing and emerging critical threats and vulnerabilities in software and hardware available to all DoD programs.
