Cyber Operations

Abstract

Funding in this project sustains Missile Defense Agency (MDA) DoD Information Assurance Certification and Accreditation Program (DIACAP) and Controls Validation Testing (CVT) activities, analysis of validation results, risk assessments and reviews of proposed Program Manager/Information Assurance Manager (PM/IAM) Plans of Action and Milestones (POA&Ms) for MDA Command and Control Battle Management and Communications (C2BMC) mission systems. It maintains the Certification and Accreditation (C&A) data repository, capturing the DIACAP documentation (artifacts, validation results, and Information Assurance Risk Assessment results, and Designated Approving Authority (DAA) accreditation decisions) and POA&M on all MDA information systems. This project supports THAAD certification to operate in the BMD System. Cyber Operations includes non-recurring requirements in FY 2015 to FY 2017 to transition all THAAD information systems from DIACAP to DoD directed Risk Management Framework. 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 Assurance Officer (SIAO)/Certification Authority (CA) and DAA. 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 Security Management Act (FISMA).
