Cyberspace Activities
Abstract
MARFORCYBERCOM: Develop software constructed cyber weapons that disrupt rising and near-peer threats, as well as violent extremist organizations seeking to do harm to the United States. The software constructed cyber weapons support operations in the Central Command area of responsibility. In addition, these software constructed cyber weapons directly support Special Operations Command, Marine Cyber Mission Forces, and Cyber Command in global operations. The software constructed cyber weapons are target specific and require high quality, rapid adjustments to achieve desired effects at acceptable levels of risk. Adversarial Cyber Developmental Test and Evaluation: Provides adversarial penetration testing services to Marine Corps Systems Command (MCSC) programs of record (PoRs) via Marine Corps Tactical Systems Support Activity (MCTSSA). MCTSSA serves as the Marine Corps Enterprise Network (MCEN) Cyber Developmental Test and Evaluation (DT&E) agent in accordance with NDAA 1640, PL-113 -283, DODI 8510. 01, DODI 5000.2, CNSS-1253, NIST-SP-800-53, and the DoD Cyber Security Test and Evaluation Guidebook. MCTSSA also serves as the USMC Cyber Developmental Test (DT) Center of Excellence, conducting mission-based cyber vulnerability assessments in accordance with policy-directed taskings. Assessments include, but are not limited to, (1) zero-day discoveries, (2) target maintenance resources to prove vulnerabilities vs. false positives, (3) informing Operational Commanders and Enterprise Leadership of mission critical Cyber security issues, (3) informing prioritization of cyber security threat investment decisions, (4) informing USMC DCO staff on advanced cyber threats to increase their skill set in detecting advanced cyber attacks and threats, and (5) ensuring Command & Control (C2) enhances the resiliency of the Marine Air-Ground Task Force (MAGTF) in a cyber-denied environment.
