Friends and Colleagues:
Now that we are several weeks removed from the MPC we can look back at all the things the Cyber Information Assurance Working Group (CIAWG) was able to
accomplish. Despite the fluctuation in group membership, the group aggressively worked on establishing the security policies that will drive all other actions of the CIAWG
and shared them in the regional discussions. Focusing their attention on specific security requirements, they were able to detail the processes that all participants
will experience during the exercise.
Even with the great progress that was made, the group has even more to accomplish. Further refinement of the step by step instructions, the sourcing of their equipment
requirements and the selection of the Information Assurance (IA) tools to implement the security policy are some of the actions they will work on leading up to the Final Planning Conference (FPC).
Best Regards,
Patrick Ganne
