Defensi

Abstract

The Defensive Cyber Tool Development group of programs designs, builds, and tests the advanced Cyber tools and infrastructure than enables active defense of the network from Tactical Command Posts through Post Camps and Station and Home Station Mission Command. This capability will enable integration of the Cyber Mission Force with the Regional and Local Cyber Network Defense elements. These tools will provide cutting edge hardware and software, integrated with existing infrastructure and tools to facilitate Active Defensive Cyber operations. Cyber Tool Development will include Big Data Analytics solutions to enable the ability to correlate and analyze the massive amount of data coming across the network and provide timely situational awareness. It will also include development, integration, and testing of Defensive Cyber Tools and Infrastructure that will facilitate pushing Cyber sensor data to the Big Data analytics as well as support remote access to prevent or react to a Cyber incident. The Cyber Tool Development includes test and assessment of emerging Commercial Cyber tools for inclusion in the Defensive Cyber Operations Infrastructure. This tool development will include enhancements and testing of existing systems by enabling such capabilities as Public Key Infrastructure and enhancing mission assurance profiles of existing software that will heighten the Defensive Cyber posture. This Program Element will support the DCO-I program starting in FY17 to integrate and deliver key hardware and software that enables the Cyber Mission Forces to protect, search and discover, maneuver and engage, and mitigate and respond to enemy cyberspace operations. DCO-I will allow near real-time employment of defensive measures that will allow friendly cyber forces to maintain advantage. DCO-I will consist of a combination of hardware computing infrastructure along with advanced software fielded to units from Army Service Component Commands down to Brigade Combat Team level. DCO-I directly supports US Cyber Command Integrated Priority List #2 Produce Advanced Cyberspace Infrastructure and #5 defensive forces to execute passive and active defense operations at net-speed. The DCO program provides initial capabilities to Cyber Protection Teams. Team enable passive and active cyberspace defensive operations to preserve friendly cyberspace capabilities, and protect data, networks, net-centric capabilities, and other designated systems. DCO consists of four critical capabilities: 1. DCO-I Enterprise: the hardware and software baseline for remote cyber maneuver based on the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Plan X 2. Cyber Protection Team (CPT) Support (now called DCO Platforms): tools reside inside DCO-I 3. Web Vulnerability: Scanning software baseline to secure key cyber terrain and protect DoD websites 4. Big Data Analytics: analytics that leverage Defense Information Security Agency (DISA) Acropolis analytics (PEO C3T)
