Methods to Evaluate Cost/Technical Risk and Opportunity Decisions for Security Assurance in Design
Abstract
This research addresses needs defined by the Office of the Undersecretary of Defense for Research and Engineering (OUSD/R and E), Strategic Technology Protection and Exploitation (STPE) Division to develop standard approaches to design in security and resilience for current and future weapon systems. The proposal closely aligns with the OUSD/R and Es Digital Engineering Strategy (DES) and the Cyber Resilient Weapon Systems (CRWS) initiative. It extends ongoing research in Security Engineering within the Systems Engineering Research Center (SERC) to a broader definition of system assurance. It addresses a gap in current systems engineering methods, processes, and tools (MPTs) associated with early-phase requirements assessment in Cyber Resilience system trades. Our STPE research sponsors are specifically interested in developing new standard approaches that combine security assurance and safety assurance (as well as other assurance concerns) in a common, model-based, systems engineering process.
