The class is tailored for work in support of DOT&E, on the fundamental concepts needed to integrate cybersecurity considerations into the operational testing of acquisition programs. This training session will provide an overview and history of relevant DOT&E Procedures, cybersecurity concepts and definitions, operational testing, oversight activities and examine persistent myths and misunderstandings surrounding operational testing with cybersecurity. Objectives: - Introduction provides a brief course overview and history of the relevant DOT&E Procedures. - Cybersecurity Concepts and Definitions reviews key cybersecurity concepts and terminology. - Operational Testing with Cybersecurity explores descriptors, concepts, and test methods that inform test strategy and design. - Oversight Activities with Cybersecurity reviews cyber aspects of oversight—meetings, document reviews, test observations, reports. - For the Record examines persistent myths and misunderstandings surrounding operational testing with cybersecurity.

This presentation discusses a methodology to use knowledge of cyber attacks and defender responses from operational assessments to gain insights into the defensive posture and to inform a strategy for improvement. The concept is to use the attack thread as the instrument to probe and measure the detection capability of the cyber defenses. The data enable a logistic regression approach to provide a quantitative basis for the analysis and recommendations.
