Performance Work Statement (PWS) for Cybersecurity Compliance and Risk Management (CCRM)

May 2016 2

1. Top Level Functional Requirements/Scope

1.1. Purpose

The Missile Defense Agency's (MDA) mission is to develop, test, and field an integrated, layered, ballistic missile defense system (BMDS) to defend the United States, its deployed forces, allies, and friends against all ranges of enemy ballistic missiles in all phases of flight.

The MDA Chief Information Officer (CIO), a Senior Executive Service (SES) appointment compliant with Clinger-Cohen Act (Pub. L. 104-106), is responsible for providing MDA with Enterprise (agency wide) Information Technology (IT) capabilities for Administrative and General Services (GENSER) capabilities servicing the MDA administrative and business requirements as well as general services for BMDS Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation (RDT&E) requirements; plus the cybersecurity (historically called Information Assurance (IA) which is subsumed into cybersecurity) lead for the BMDS fielded capabilities and MDA Enterprise. The MDA CIO is the MDA appointed information system Authorizing Official (AO), historically the Designated Accrediting Authority (DAA), for all of MDA to include the BMDS fielded capabilities.

Approved for Public Release 16-MDA-8540 Figure 1.1: The Ballistic Missile Defense System

May 2016 3

Missile defense technology being developed, tested and deployed by the United States is designed to counter ballistic missiles of all ranges—short, medium, intermediate and long. Since ballistic missiles have different ranges, speeds, size and performance characteristics, the BMDS is an integrated, "layered" architecture that provides multiple opportunities to destroy missiles and their warheads before they can reach their targets.

Ballistic missile trajectories are commonly divided into three phases of flight: boost, midcourse, and terminal. Each element will play an important role in a robust system intended to defend against hostile missiles in any phase of flight.

The BMDS system's architecture includes:

Networked sensors (including space-based) and ground- and sea-based radars for target detection and tracking;

Ground- and sea-based interceptor missiles for destroying a ballistic missile using either the force of a direct collision, called "hit-to-kill" technology, or an explosive blast fragmentation warhead; and

A command, control, battle management, and communications network providing the operational commanders with the needed links between the sensors and interceptor missiles.

The BMDS elements are:

Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense (Aegis) Command, Control, Battle Management and Communications (C2BMC) Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD) Sensors Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) Potential New Technology

With each element having multiple unique components such as: interceptors, fire control, unique sensors, element internal and external communications capabilities, unique command and control configurations, and etc.

1.2 Background

The MDA mission is to develop, test, and field an integrated, layered, BMDS to defend the United States, its deployed forces, allies, and friends. The BMDS weapon system, as depicted in Figure 1.1, is made up of several elements and components. MDA is identified as a rapid acquisition agency with the mission to expedite BMDS capabilities development and testing.

MDA then fields demonstrated BMDS program capabilities as soon as they are available.

The BMDS Mission and MDA Enterprise are both considered ‘national security systems’. Given the significant and growing danger of the cybersecurity threats, it is imperative that leaders at all levels of an organization understand their responsibilities for achieving adequate information cybersecurity and for managing information system-related cybersecurity risks. This advisory and assistance services requirement will provide:

May 2016 4

Improved independent verification and validation analysis and reporting of the BMDS and Enterprise cybersecurity controls.

Expand information cybersecurity knowledge improving the system architecture, system life cycles, and authorization decisions.

Figure 1.2: RMF OV-1

Cybersecurity is defined as the prevention of damage to, protection of, and restoration of computers, electronic communications systems, electronic communications services, wire communication, and electronic communication, including information contained therein, to ensure its availability, integrity, authentication, confidentiality, and nonrepudiation.

Risk is defined as a measure of the extent to which an entity is threatened by a potential circumstance or event, and typically a function of: (i) the adverse impacts that would arise if the circumstance or event occurs; and (ii) the likelihood of occurrence.

Note: Information system-related security risks are those risks that arise from the loss of confidentiality, integrity, or availability of information or information systems and reflect the potential adverse impacts to organizational operations (including mission, functions, image, or reputation), organizational assets, individuals, other organizations, and the Nation. Adverse impacts to the Nation include, for example, compromises to information systems that support

For cybersecurity, a ‘threat’ is defined as a tool, technique, or methodology with the potential to adversely impact organization operations (including mission, functions, image, or reputation), organizational assets, individuals, other organizations, or the nation through an information system via unauthorized access, destruction, disclosure, modification of information, and/or denial of service.

Vulnerability is defined as a weakness in an information system, system security procedures, internal controls, or implementation that could be exploited by a threat source. Where a vulnerability assessment is the systematic examination of an information system or product to determine the adequacy of security measures, identify security deficiencies, provide data from which to predict the effectiveness of proposed security measures, and confirm the adequacy of such measures after implementation.

3.5.1 The contractor shall improve the effectiveness of BMDS weapons information system-related cybersecurity risks management and reporting (contained in highly diverse environments of complex and sophisticated cyber threats, with ever-increasing system vulnerabilities, and rapidly changing missions); by performing the Information Assurance Workforce System Architect and Engineering (IASAE) functions, as defined in Federal and DoD regulatory guidance for the BMDS ISs.

As part of Figure 1.2 RMF OV-1 step 3 Implementation and step 4 Assess, cybersecurity examinations of the BMDS element(s) and/or component(s) are executed using ‘active’ evaluation methods (penetration tests) from both internal and external sources. An ‘active’ attack attempts to alter system resources or affect their operation: so it compromises Integrity or Availability of the system. These examinations may contain multiple BMDS elements and components and their associated information systems within a single event. In most cases, MDA/DT leads the overall large system test event of which the cybersecurity examination is a subset.

The contractor shall perform the functions as identified in Figure 3.3.1 containing the list of Cyber Range OT&E Engineer IASAE functions, for the BMDS IS/PITs identified in Table 3.1.1, May 2016 27 while executing the tasks in paragraph 3.3.3, producing the Key Products/Technical Data identified in paragraph 3.3.4.
