Current Process

Overview

  • Initially each network/system goes through a Certification and Accreditation (C&A) process.  This is a very labor intensive process and done about every 3 years.
  • Once assets go through C&A, asset changes require manual updates to original C&A documentation.
  • Periodic evaluations of the configurations of the boxes takes place during Command Cyber Readiness Inspections (CCRI).  This is very labor intensive and may involve weeks of preparation by network administrators.
  • CCRI consists of a series of manual checks and a asset scans using SCCVI (eEye Retina).
  • Based on the results from the network scans changes are made to the assets . Updates to C&A documentation may be required.
  • Scan results are uploaded reported to higher commands for tracking, inventory, and Situational Awareness purposes. In some cases a great deal of manual reporting is required into Vulnerability Management System (VMS)

SCM Process

Overview

  • Compliance results and metrics are continuously reported and made available to the C&A process
    • see Compliance Checking of Assets vignette ---->link!!!
  • Results and metrics are used as inputs to Scoring algorithms
  • Scoring algorithms are used to perform risk assessment and determine risk score for assets on network
  • Network Situational Awareness
