Cyber Capability and Platform Resilience
Abstract
FY 2021 Accomplishments: - Published the Cyber Invictus After Action Report which provided an assessment for U.S. Cyber Command (USCYBERCOM) on capability and capacity of the Cyber Protection Teams (CPT) during a global conflict. The Cyber Invictus assessment informed CDR USCYBERCOM’s planning and decision making on the command relationships and organization of the Cyber Mission Force (CMF). - Completed the Mission Resilience I (MR I) wargame co-sponsored by U.S. European Command (USEUCOM) and U.S. Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) focused on global logistics in support of a war plan. This included seven milestone events to inform the wargame’s red campaign plan, blue force defense plans, risk to mission measurements, and two table top exercises (TTX) that included U.S. transportation agencies and DOD’s commercial partners, as well as, key stakeholders throughout the DOD. - Transitioned the Cyber Resilience IV (CR IV) wargame recommendations to the Mission Focused Cyber Hardening Team (MFCHT), working with U.S. Indo-Pacific Command (USINDOPACOM), U.S. Space Command (USSPACECOM), and other key stakeholders. - Participated in the Joint All Domain Command and Control (JADC2) operational planning team (OPT) for the Joint Concept for Contested Logistics (JCCL) led by Joint Staff J4. - Completed the three (3) following DCRAs: 1) quick reaction DCRA at a USAF location in support of the SCP Pilots, 2) US Army/USTRANSCOM critical location, 3)USAF/USTRANSCOM critical system - Worked with CCMD and Service Mission owners developing recommended mitigations for risk identified during mission based cyber risk assessments. - Approved and published the DoD Instruction 5000.90. - Completed the Strategic Cybersecurity Program (SCP) pilot study of Ground Based Strategic Deterrent (GBSD) program and 9 case studies developed documenting acquisition cybersecurity best practices. - Completed the SCP pilot study of cybersecurity of DCI at USAF Site 1 and series of targeted recommendations delivered to USAF. - 20 of 20 priority recommendations from USEUCOM Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) Mission Resilience Game (MRG) were successfully implemented and relevant cybersecurity vulnerabilities mitigated. - Mitigation Prioritization Framework (MPF) developed for incorporation into CRMT to enable prioritization among many cybersecurity vulnerabilities for mitigation implementation and resourcing, and testing/validation strategy developed. - Re-established the Weapons Systems Cybersecurity Council of Colonels including representatives from USA, USAF, USMC, USN, PCA, DoD CIO, JS J6, OUSD(Policy), etc. - Provided acquisition objectives for Joint Cyber Warfighting Architecture (JCWA) and 2018 DoD Cyber Strategy Line of Effort (LOE 4) POA&M - Developed JCWA Roadmap and Backlog Context diagram explaining the many backlog layers associated with operational, portfolio, and product backlog. - Conducted a JCWA Acquisition Management Arrangement (AMA) Assessment to determine initial requirements for an overarching JCWA acquisition organization. Surveyed OSD, USCYBERCOM, Service Cyber Components (SCCs), Service Acquisition Executive (SAE) organizations, and JCWA Component Program Management Offices (PMO). Recommended fundamental organization functions and relationships to improve JCWA system engineering and interfaces. - Assessed Intelligence Support to Acquisition (ISA) structure, process, and current weaknesses that result in acquisition offices delivering compromised systems/components into operations
