Cybersecurity Engineering Program

Abstract

Cybersecurity is focused on developing designs and solutions to protect the MDS from existing and emerging cyber threats through coherent cybersecurity systems engineering. Program goals include: - Ensure Cybersecurity is integrated into the Acquisition Process - Assess the Cybersecurity Architecture to address gaps/disconnects, enhance interoperability, and realize efficiencies across all mission systems; define the ''As Built'' and ''To Be'' Cybersecurity Systems Engineering concepts to strengthen technical assessments and cybersecurity design solutions and implementation recommendations impacted by the change in requirements -- Develop and coordinate near-term and long-term engineering changes to the MDS -- Develop requirements for building cybersecurity into incremental MDS hardware and software builds -- Monitor allocation of these requirements to the Elements -- Recommend updates to the BMDS Core Standards, including Cyber-related requirements specified by the Agency, the Combatant Commanders (CCMDs), the DoD, and the Federal Government -- Perform cybersecurity systems engineering assessments for proposed BMD System Specification and interface changes and additions - Provide and recommend updates to cybersecurity systems engineering policy and guidance for MDS design and acquisition to enhance resiliency against cyber threats - Implement cybersecurity engineering resiliency techniques - Provide objectives and requirements for Cybersecurity testing - Provide independent cybersecurity reviews at critical engineering milestones - Provide information system security engineering by assessing cybersecurity requirements, design, and implementations and provide recommendations to address architecture gaps or shortfalls - Implement cyber threat mitigation strategies within MDS architecture, design, system requirements, and specifications documentation to ensure traceability to necessary components and interfaces that make up the Missile Defense mission - Coordinate evaluation of cybersecurity capability during System tests - Develop verification and assessment strategies for System cybersecurity requirements Specific and/or unique accomplishments to each FY are as follows:
