Now, DOD is approaching the problem from a fresh perspective. A new report- ing requirement that went into effect earlier this year aims to track the damage comprehensively. At the same time, the Army is working proactively to protect the information from getting out in the first place. For program managers (PMs) and program executive officers (PEOs), the challenge is to accurately identify and protect CTI while meeting cost, schedule and performance objectives without any degradation of requirements supporting the Soldier.
EARLY EFFORTS DOD efforts to mitigate cyber intru- sions into the defense industrial base date to 2007, when the department first established a voluntary cybersecu- rity information-sharing program,
the
Defense Industrial Base Cyber Security (DIB CS) Program.
With the purpose of enhancing and sup- plementing the ability of defense industrial base companies to safeguard DOD infor- mation that resides on or travels through their unclassified information systems, the program created a process for volun- tarily reporting cyber intrusions on their unclassified networks. Tis marked the first joint effort between defense industrial base companies and DOD to identify and assess compromised unclassified program information that ultimately could put the warfighter at risk.
Te information gathered by the DIB CS Program gave DOD insight into the scope of damage to unclassified technical information and patterns of compromise. But it was still voluntary—meaning that DOD could obtain only limited insight into the total loss of information within the defense industrial base.
WIDENING THE NET Te voluntary has since become man- datory. A clause amending the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supple- ment (DFARS) took effect on Nov. 18, 2013, requiring all companies doing busi- ness with DOD to report any instances of possible exfiltration, manipulation or other loss or compromise of unclassified CTI. At the same time, these companies must also provide adequate cybersecu- rity measures to protect CTI on their unclassified information systems from unauthorized access and disclosure. Any DOD information compromised in cyber incidents must go through a specified damage assessment, originally estab- lished for voluntary incident reporting.
To address the appropriate level of security, DOD, in coordination with the National Institute of Standards and Technology, published a full list of security controls
IN THE CYBER BATTLESPACE Sgt. Randy Sweet, a network defender with the Army National Guard’s Cyber Protection Team 173, participates in core methods of cyber protection during an exercise at Camp Wil- liams, Utah, in April 2017. A new approach to sharing and protecting information, includ- ing CTI, is vital with the increasing reliance on technology to support the warfighter. (U.S. Army photo by Sgt.
