Program Protection
Abstract
The Department of Defense (DoD) must address cyber security and supply chain risks to DoD networks, weapons systems and information stored and processed on both DoD and Defense Industrial Base (DIB) unclassified networks that support DoD programs. Increased reliance on the internet as a vehicle for sharing information, globalization of the supply chain, and advanced persistent threats (APTs) that can evade commercially available security tools and defeat generic security best practices, drive the need better and smarted program protection planning and execution. The President's Cyber Initiative has moved to counter these threats and mitigate the risks. The proposed Acquisition Cyber Security Initiative links high level policies and great thoughts to specific acquisition practices, systems engineering activities, and risk reduction activities. Through this initiative the Department will pilot activities with the DIB to reduce risks in sharing and storing critical program information, better understand and mitigate supply chain risks, improve program protection planning, and improve and streamline program protection engineering.
