Cybersecurity Systems Engineer
CurrentOn the Cyber Security Technical Authority (CS TA) team under NIWC Pacific, tasked as a cybersecurity Systems Engineering Technical Reviewer for NAVWAR programs/projects that fall under the PEO C4I/SS, PEO DES, and PEO MLB system portfolio. Work consists of examining multiple engineering and technical documents that compose the program’s system (e.g. high-level architectural designs, DoDAF models, Systems Engineering Plans, Program Protection Plans, Cybersecurity Strategy, artifacts in eMASS, etc.) to identify possible cybersecurity risks, issues, vulnerabilities in the design. Mitigations are recommended to the NAVWAR programs to help them dissolve cyber risks within their systems. Knowledge of DoD 8500.01, the Risk Management Framework (RMF), NIST SP 800-53 security controls, CS TA Standards, Defense-in-Depth Functional Implementation Architecture (DFIA) Standard, CYBERSAFE (and more) is used throughout these review processesPrevious work includes supporting the effort to restructure the U.S. Navy’s CYBERSAFE Program (OPNAVINST 5239.4) and performing research to assist OPNAV N4/N6 with understanding how the Navy can improve its quantitative cybersecurity risk assessment methodology and reduce its cybersecurity risk to mission and platform
