JULY 2022AEROSPACEDEFENSEREVIEW.COM19appropriate mitigations are being considered throughout the development lifecycle. To do this, Lockheed Martin developed our Cyber Resiliency Level® (CRL®) framework to assist stakeholders in prioritizing risks and selecting courses of action for maximum effect against cyberattacks. The CRL® provides stakeholders with an understanding of cyber investments necessary for increased cyber resilience. The model uses six categories, which align with Department of Defense (DoD) customer requirements and hard problems mitigation. The CRL® team measures the customer's overall risk tolerance to determine ways to reduce possible cyber threats within systems. The team then coordinates with all stakeholders to make recommendations on prioritized courses of action to mitigate threats and increase overall resiliency. Another asset Lockheed Martin uses is called SmartSatTM. It's a software-defined satellite platform that offers a new level of space vehicle security through software and hardware-based intrusion detection, secure coding, encryption, and identity management. With SmartSatTM, Lockheed Martin is bringing the same degree of network security that we see here on Earth into space. We engineered SmartSatTM so its defenses can be updated as new threats emerge, like how your computer's antivirus and patches are continuously updated to stay ahead of the existing threats. We can also use artificial intelligence to identify anomalies and mitigate them automatically using pattern detection. All of these things provide better situational awareness to secure our space systems. Lockheed Martin also uses agile DevSecOps and secure coding principles to make sure the best cybersecurity practices are considered at every step of development. Continuous monitoring in an agile environment means we can deliver and frequently update customized software solutions for our customers in response to rapidly evolving mission needs. While Lockheed Martin is staffed with cyber professionals who tackle challenging tasks, we don't pretend to know it all. That's why our company collaborates with smaller businesses across the industry, enhancing our ability to prepare for and respond to vulnerabilities. We do this as founding members of the Space Information Sharing and Analysis Center (ISAC), which was conceived in response to information-sharing gaps recognized within the cybersecurity and space community. One such collaboration is with SpiderOak Mission Systems, who Lockheed Martin recently entered an agreement with to develop and test a zero-trust cybersecurity platform to secure data across the space data supply chain.As we enter an era of more software-defined satellites, the U.S.'s ability to track, defend, and fight adversaries depends increasingly on how well we can field the best software and hardware with defensive cybersecurity capabilities intentionally designed in from the component up to the overall system architecture level. WITH SMARTSATTM, LOCKHEED MARTIN IS BRINGING THE SAME DEGREE OF NETWORK SECURITY THAT WE SEE HERE ON EARTH INTO SPACE
