About this file
This memorandum from the Director of Operational Test and Evaluation establishes policies and procedures for assessing cybersecurity during operational test and evaluation of Department of Defense systems and capabilities. Key details include:
-
The purpose of cybersecurity testing is to evaluate a system's ability to enable operators to execute critical missions and tasks in expected operational environments, including in cyber environments. This includes assessing the system's trustworthiness, operational resilience in the face of information resource degradation or loss, and network operations' ability to counter adverse cyber events.
-
The memorandum supersedes previous guidance and incorporates processes from Joint Staff, DOT&E, and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff publications for evaluating cybersecurity as part of operational testing. DOT&E will routinely review and update this policy to reflect changes in test and evaluation technologies and capabilities.
The related federal contract opportunity is a request for proposals from the Defense Information Systems Agency for Test, Evaluation, and Certification Services in support of the Joint Interoperability Test Command.

This memorandum supersedes reference (a) and includes processes and procedures from references (b) through (e) for assessing cybersecurity within OT &E. DOT &E will routinely review and update this policy as needed to reflect changes in test and evaluation technology and capabilities.
Background
The DOD acquisition process should deliver weapons systems, platforms and networks that are both secure and resilient in all aspects of the expected operational environment, including cyber. 1 The purpose of testing cybersecurity during OT &E is to assess the ability of the system to enable operators to execute critical missions and tasks in the expected operational
1 Per DOD Instruction 8500.0 I, ··Cybersecurity," dated March 14, 2014, operational resilience requires three conditions to be met: information resources are trustworthy; missions are ready for information resources degradation or loss; and network operations have the means to prevail in the face of adverse events.
