Risk Assessment

Improve Your Organization's Security Posture

Cyber Defense Agency offers mission-effective security assessments to ensure you comply with industry regulations and standards, and to help you minimize exposure to damaging threats. CDA gives you actionable information using proven methodologies.

It is not enough to just identify an organization's vulnerabilities, security risks, or even follow a security checklist; key decision makers need quantified information that assesses their security risk in terms of impact on your business' mission.

Our Security Assessment services help you to:

• Evaluate your network and information system security posture
• Assess cyber security exposure and quantify impact on the business mission
• Conduct trade-off analysis to evaluate design and architecture alternatives with respect to security, cost, and performance impact
• Develop risk mitigation strategies with the goal of mission effectiveness

CDA developed a process called Mission, Impact Risk Reduction with Objective Rationale (MIRROR) jointly with the National Security Agency to solve complex cyber-security problems. CDA has successfully used MIRROR to assess the risks of large, diverse systems within the U.S. Department of Defense. CDA plans to extend MIRROR to other sectors to provide security engineering to critical infrastructure providers.
