Cyber Operations

Abstract

BMDS Test Cyber Operations sustain Missile Defense Agency Risk Management Framework (RMF) Standards, Computer Network Defense Service Provider and Controls Validation Testing activities: validation results; risk assessments; and reviews of proposed Program Manager/Information Systems Security Manager (PM/ISSM) Plans of Action and Milestones (POA&Ms) for MDA Ballistic Missile Defense Test program. It maintains the Certification and Accreditation (C&A) data repository, capturing the RMF documentation (artifacts, validation results, and Cybersecurity Risk Assessment results, and Authorizing Official (AO) accreditation decisions) and POA&Ms on all MDA information systems. This project supports the monitoring and tracking of Cybersecurity mitigations detailed in Information Technology security POA&Ms. Activities include preparation of C&A documentation and accreditation recommendations to the MDA Senior Information Systems Security Officer/Security Controls Assessor (SCA) and AO. Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V) team actions ensure the availability, integrity, authentication, confidentiality and non-repudiation of the MDA mission, test and administrative systems. Activities in the Project are necessary to comply with the Federal Information Systems Modernization Act (FISMA) of 2014. The MDA Information Technology Networks and Systems (ICTA) and Cross Domain Solution (CDS) provide oversight and guidance for implementing standard CDS security policies across the BMDS. The Network Operations Security Center (DNOSC) is the Local Control Center (LCC) (Tier 3) that protects, detects, characterizes, reports, and mitigates cyber threats through real-time continuous monitoring for flight and ground test assets.
