Engineering Cyber Operations
Abstract
Engineering and Cyber Operations provides monitoring and tracking of Cybersecurity mitigations detailed in Information Technology security Plan of Action and Milestones. Activities include preparation of certification and accreditation documentation and accreditation recommendations to the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) Senior Information Assurance Officer/Certification Authority and Designated Approving Authority. Independent Verification and Validation team actions ensure the availability, integrity, authentication, confidentiality and non-repudiation of the MDA mission, test and administrative systems. Activities are necessary to comply with the Federal Information Security Management Act. Engineering and Cyber Operations implements Risk Management Framework (RMF) system engineering principles as specified within the Department of Defense (DoD) Instruction DoD 8510.01 to acquire, design, test, implement and field technical solutions throughout the systems architecture to ensure sufficient protections exist from a threat and risk-based approach. MDA's goal is to ensure Cybersecurity engineering principles flow into system requirements and design specifications early to provide the most cost benefit and ensure security controls are aligned with the National Institute of Standards and Technology 800-53a security controls as applicable to systems categorized as National Security Systems. Engineering and Cyber Operations includes resources to conduct an MDA Insider Threat program to identify, deter, and mitigate potential insider threats. This activity is Presidentially and DoD-mandated. Engineering and Cyber Operations also includes Defense Industrial Base (DIB) Cyber Risk Management to assess the security of MDA information on DIB networks.
