Activity-in-Diagram: Phase 2: Characterize Attack Surface

CreatorTim Ramey

Description

During Phase2, government and contractor test teams identify vulnerabilities and avenues of attack an adversary may use to exploit the system and develop plans to evaluate the impacts to the mission

Characterize the Cyber-Attack Surface
Perform an MBCRA to analyze the attack surface, examine the cybersecurity risks the system may face, and create a set of cybersecurity scenarios used for testing during upcoming test events. A CTT exercise is a useful tool for performing the MBCRA.
