Building a Cybersecurity Strategy

Abstract

Today's missions rely on highly integrated and complex technology that must be protected from a wide range of adversaries. This technology must operate in a highly dynamic and contested environment. Reliance on operational security controls has provided insufficient protection for quite some time. The role of cybersecurity engineering is growing in importance as adversaries' capabilities in-crease and systems shift from being "built for purpose" to integrating reused components including legacy, third-party software, open source software, and external services (e.g., Azure Cloud and Platform One).
