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. 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 exceed the knowledge needed to secure Internet Protocol 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 threats by identifying early Technology Readiness Level (TRL) efforts, via non-traditional industry partners, for accelerated maturation activities leading to quicker fielded cyber resilient technologies for operational users. This project also 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 bolsters DAF cyber resiliency/security by supporting common secure environments for Program Offices to share information on classified weapon system cyber intelligence, threats, and vulnerabilities. Finally, this activity supports Defense Industrial Base data protection efforts and DAF program offices with program protection efforts including hardware assurance, software assurance, supply chain risk management, and other weapon system cybersecurity/resiliency activities as required.
