Cyber Security and Cyber Resiliency
Abstract
Cybersecurity and Cyber Resiliency efforts harden the GMD system against a cyber-attack and reduce system vulnerabilities. The strategy implements cybersecurity and cyber resiliency systems throughout the life cycle to flow requirements to the Next Generation Interceptor, Ground Based Interceptor, and GMD Weapon System to influence system development. Early cyber testing is completed to identify vulnerabilities and fixes early in the design process. Recurring efforts include: - Implement the GMD cybersecurity risk process across all systems to execute risk-based decisions on cybersecurity controls - Implement robust cyber resiliency by developing requirements that flow to component level designs, allowing the GMD Weapon System to operate in a cyber-contested environment - Support testing on developmental systems in a virtualized environment by integrating cyber test events allowing execution of specific cyber threat vectors on developmental software in an effort to identify capability flaws that will be assessed through the cyber risk process - Support Cooperative Vulnerability and Penetration Assessment to discover unknown vulnerabilities and determine effectiveness of mitigations from development level cyber testing - Support Adversarial Assessment penetration to determine effectiveness of cyber-attacks in an operational environment along with the effectiveness of the operational and technical mitigations implemented from developmental cyber testing - Implement software and hardware fixes to address weaknesses found during testing - Develop intermediate cybersecurity processes and procedures that provide operators, maintainers, and Warfighter specific steps to recognize and react to cyber-attacks through defensive cyber operations - Develop and execute quarterly cybersecurity training scenarios allowing fire control operators and network defenders to train in a cyber-contested environment while in an engagement scenario - Provide training opportunities for fire control operators and cyber incident responders to test Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures - Provide Risk Management Framework support to include authorization and assessment for the GMD Weapon System - Support of cyber designs, integration, and test verification Specific and/or unique accomplishments to each FY are as follows:
