Cyber Defense Analysis
Abstract
Cyberspace Defense Analysis (CDA): The CDA Weapon System conducts Defensive Cyberspace Operations (DCO) and network defense by monitoring, collecting, analyzing, and reporting sensitive information transiting or residing on the AFNet. Without proper funding the CDA Operators will not be able to determine potential impacts and operational adjustments resulting from information disclosures or identify compromised information from network intrusions. There will be a decreased assurance of network defense and an increase in the amount of lost PII, OPSEC, and other sensitive information. The CDA mission subsets include: Telephony Communications, Radio Frequency (RF) Communications, Email Communications, Internet based Capabilities (IbC), and Cyber Operations Risk Assessment (CORA). CDA is the cyberspace weapon system that is used to conduct assessments during peace time and contingency operations. CDA shows its true capability in the force protection realm and helps ensure our adversaries are not provided early warning of our plans, capabilities, or limitations. FY21 funding is essential in developing new capabilities to combat the rapidly evolving cyber threats. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver Air Force Defensive Cyberspace Operations weapon system capability. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605831F.
