Information Operations Vulnerability/Survivability Assessment (IOVSA): Process Structure (Revision A)

Abstract

This document is a revision of the IOVSA methodology formalized in June 2000. The goal of this revised document will be the clarification of the work to be performed for each phase, the requirements, and the expected deliverables. Since this revision will be a living document, it will be updated as appropriate to include lessons learned. The intent of this revision is to facilitate the dialog between the U.S. Army Research Laboratory/Survivability Lethality Analysis Directorate (ARL/SLAD) and the decision-makers (program Executive Offices (PEOs), Program Managers (PMs), evaluators, contractors, etc.) for U.S. Army IT-based systems. As before, the IOVSA process will provide a structured methodology for assessing IT system/System of Systems (SoS) 10 susceptibilities and vulnerabilities. The process will provide flexibility that enables the analyst to customize it for the system/SoS under assessment. Additionally, the IOVSA results will provide critical information to system developers and decision-makers regarding the system's/SoS' 10 susceptibilities and vulnerabilities. Furthermore, enough information will be able to be extracted from the process to evaluate different countermeasure techniques and protection recommendations to determine their feasibility and cost/reward ratio.
