Mission Risk Analysis

Abstract

Discover and analyze cyber susceptibilities/vulnerabilities to USAF weapon systems and characterize their impacts based on mission risk. Engineer cyber mitigation solutions that can be used across the USAF weapon systems to reduce mission risk. Promote the enhancement of cyber discovery methodologies and capabilities within USAF. Focus is on assessing the gaps and seams that exist between defined weapon system boundaries and within areas that are not assigned to specific weapon system program offices. This activity builds upon existing efforts regarding the identification and mitigation of cyber vulnerabilities, and does not duplicate similar ongoing efforts or conduct redundant assessments on systems that have already been evaluated. As the Acquisition/System Security Engineering activity under Project 642812 develops Cyber Focus Teams, additional, more robust assessment data sets will be generated for CROWS to continue identifying and validating vulnerabilities. This activity provides feedback to focus future assessments and also feeds into the Mitigations activity under Project 642834. In FY 2021, Project 642836 is renamed from Mission Thread Analysis to Mission Risk Analysis.
