Cyber Vulnerability Assessments of Critical Infrastructure

Abstract

The Cyber Vulnerability Assessments and Evaluations program funds cyber vulnerability assessments of critical shore infrastructure as directed by Section 1650 of the FY17 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). Funding will be used for assessments of prioritized critical shore infrastructure. Sec. 1650 of the FY17 NDAA directs the Secretary of Defense to submit a plan for assessing the cyber vulnerability of critical defense infrastructure and begin assessment of this infrastructure during a preliminary pilot program that will assess no fewer than two installations by December, 31 2019. Funded vulnerability assessments will end by calendar year 2020 and will build upon existing mission assurance, blue team, and red team capabilities. As instructed by the Congressional language, the assessments will utilize DoE and DoD national laboratory partnerships. Assessments will end with the submission of a final report to Congress. Strategies and procedures for mitigating the risk of cyber vulnerabilities should be identified during the course of evaluation.
