consumable by our partners, guiding target rich/resource poor entities to alternative providers
when necessary, benefitting from relationships and scale offered by our regional teams.
In the final category, we will leverage commercial Attack Surface Management and similar
capabilities to both help our partners identify exploited or exploitable conditions and gain a
better picture into security trends across the country. In all cases, our strong bias will be to
leverage commercially-available tools and services; only when no viable capabilities exist in
the commercial market will we consider developing an in-house capability. Our capabilities and
services will be designed with scalability as a top priority, leveraging the breadth and capability
of our regional cybersecurity workforce and focusing on delivering measurable value to every
participating partner. These capabilities will be underpinned by modern analytic infrastructure,
executed through our Cyber Analytics and Data System (CADS) for our own operators and
expanding into the Joint Collaborative Environment (JCE) to incorporate data and analysis from
our partners across government and the private sector.
ENA BL ING MEA SURE
We will expand and modernize our cybersecurity capabilities and services to cover more
partners and address a more complete set of risks.
MEA SURE OF EFFEC TI V E N E SS
We will define measures of effectiveness for every capability and service, to include:
1 | Protective DNS Service: Number of
malicious domain requests blocked.
2 | Continuous Diagnostics and
Mitigation: Percentage increase in
agencies that have fully automated key
vulnerability and asset management
processes and can report advanced
measurements such as time-to-remediate,
scan frequency, and scan quality.
3 | Attack Surface Management:
Percentage decrease in prevalence of, and
time-to-remediate, vulnerabilities in all
participating organizations and percentage
C I S A C Y B ER S EC U RI T Y ST R AT EG I C PL A N
increase in visibility across all sectors.
4 | Vulnerability Disclosure Platform:
Increase in vulnerabilities identified via
agency Vulnerability Disclosure Platforms
prior to adversary exploitation.
5 | DotGov program: Increase in eligible
organizations enrolled in DotGov.
6 | CyberSentry: Number of potential
threats detected by the CyberSentry
capability prior to identification by
participating entity.
