Acquisition/System Security Engineering
Abstract
The Acquisition/System Security Engineering (SSE) activity develops Department of the Air Force (DAF) and Department of Defense system security engineering and acquisition security processes, policies, and contracting language, and refines intelligence collection and processes to provide actionable information on cyber threats to the weapons system community. This activity bolsters Air Force cyber resiliency/security by developing common secure environments for Program Offices to share information on classified weapon system cyber intelligence, threats, and vulnerabilities. It also encompasses developing cyber resiliency training, manning strategies, and Cyber Focus Teams, which provide cyber acquisition expertise to Program Executive Offices (PEO) to address acquisition workforce gaps in cyber resiliency/security manpower, experience, and knowledge. This project hones workforce expertise and skills required to counter weapon system-unique cyber threats, which exceeds the knowledge needed to secure Internet Protocol (IP) based systems against traditional network-based cyber threats. Such expertise is critical for acquisition professionals to ensure cyber resiliency/security design tenets are integrated into the weapon system's life cycle. The project also enables rapid response to emerging peer threats by focusing on early technology readiness level (TRL) efforts via non-traditional industry partners to develop and field cyber resiliency technologies to operational users. Finally, this project includes identification, evaluation, and prioritization of emerging cyber techniques, products, and technologies for further development and prototyping to posture DAF weapon systems to counter emerging threats. This activity supports Air Force Program Offices, the Protecting Critical Technologies Task Force, Defense Industrial Base data protection efforts, Air Force Supply Chain Risk Management, and other weapon system cyber security/resiliency activities as required. Prior to FY 2021, reporting of Cyber Workforce Development activities were reported under Project 642810, Cyber Workforce Development, and the reporting of Agile/Adaptable Standards activities were reported under Project 642816, Agile/Adaptable Standards.
