Identify and mitigate risk to mission in contested or degraded cyberspace environments. Identify deficiencies and single points of failure in people, processes, and technology and make mission owners aware of mission risk. Collaborate with system owners to mitigate vulnerabilities, return systems to their technical baseline, propose non-cyber methods to reduce risk, and modify the supporting key terrain as required. Outcomes in survey mission will be used to actively prepare and evaluate forces for conflict in cyberspace. Implement Risk Mitigation Plans and develop Mission Defense Plans. Reviews use risk-driven inputs to seek out and defend against an active adversarial threat on Air Force systems. Provides a primary mechanism to detect advanced persistent threats. Collaborate with intelligence to focus defensive cyberspace operations on countering known threats.
