Cyber Blue Team

Abstract

In 2016 the Army Acquisition Executive (AAE) designated the Program Manager for Cyber, and Training (PM CT2) (formerly PM ITTS) as the Office of Primary Responsibility for Cyber Acquisition Blue Teams (CABT) certifications and standards program. This Project executes the establishment and management of certification standards for CABT and coordination of requirements on behalf of the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Acquisition, Logistics, and Technology (ASA ALT). PM CT2 will establish certification standards, certify Blue Teams and maintain a vulnerabilities/lessons learned repository. PM CT2 will work with Blue and Red Teams to establish processes which facilitate open network tests under the red team authority, coordinate with PMs on CABT efforts on behalf of ASA ALT and report to ASA ALT on new cyber vulnerabilities. Blue teams will work cooperatively with acquisition programs to make sure all security measures are taken throughout the program's lifecycle, ensuring cyber resiliency. Blue teams are essential to help military operators assess, protect and defeat the presence of cyber security threats across Army Acquisition Programs. Will focus on the continuation of certifying candidate teams. The goal is to certify enough teams to allow acquisition programs the flexibility to find a certified Blue Team that meet their program's schedule and cost and can be incorporated early on in the program. CABT vulnerability assessments will provide data analytics to report trends and lessons learned. A web portal will serve as a one stop shop for both candidate and certified Blue teams to obtain and maintain their certification.
