Mission Thread Analysis
Abstract
The Cyber Mission Thread Analysis (CMTA) project establishes an common, repeatable, mission-level cyber analytical methodology to prioritize where the Air Force should perform detailed cyber investigations based on potential mission impact. Analysis results provide a System-of-Systems mission context to prioritize cyber vulnerability assessments and risk mitigation strategy development across the Air Force enterprise to improve mission assurance in a cyber-contested environment. Activities include investigating existing methodologies, prototyping an analytical process, prototyping software support tools, and institutionalizing CMTA in Air Force acquisition processes. Each CMTA will identify the mission functions performed, participating systems, and top level interactions among all relevant participants from the user's point of view. By understanding operational intent, mission dependencies, and the cyber risk landscape, experts in system development, operational support, and sustainment can make objective statements about mission impact and task outcomes as well as assess potential mitigations.
