Cyber Security Risk Assessment Process for Military Systems

Abstract

Military platforms are more computerized, networked and processor-driven than ever. The consequence is an increased exposure to cyber attacks and thus, an amplified risk. However, the continuous and stable operation of these platforms is critical to the success of military missions and public safety. Perfect cyber security does not exist. Cyber security must be continuously managed through iterative risk assessments. Many cyber security risk management frameworks and processes exist for traditional IT systems. However, this is far from being the case when it comes to military platforms and systems. This document presents a cyber security risk assessment process tailored to military systems. This process was developed by the team members of the NATO IST-151 Research Task Group (RTG) activity entitled Cyber Security of Military Systems. The process can be applied to both traditional IT and firmware-based embedded systems, which are everywhere in military platforms and systems.
