The Modernization Process Model (MPM) incorporates the Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) to ensure that modernization activities address cybersecurity risks throughout the lifecycle of defense systems. The framework organizes cybersecurity activities into five functional areas: Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover. These functions guide how cybersecurity considerations are integrated into acquisition, system development, and operational sustainment activities within the MPM. The release of DoWM 5000.103 Cyber Developmental Test and Evaluation (DT&E) significantly strengthen the cybersecurity elements of the MPM. The manual establishes policy and procedures for evaluating the cybersecurity posture of Department of Defense systems through structured testing activities conducted across the system lifecycle. By emphasizing mission-focused cyber testing, iterative evaluation, and… Read More
