Military platforms are more computerized, networked and processor-driven than ever. The consequence is an increased exposure to cyber attacks and thus, an amplified risk. However, the continuous and stable operation of these platforms is critical to the success of military missions and public safety. NATO nations own a considerable amount of military platforms and systems that may face cyber-attacks. Therefore, NATO would benefit from leveraging current processes and methodologies to design more secure systems and assess current systems’ cyber security. Military systems and platforms are targets of choice for cyber attacks not because of their prevalence, like consumer electronics, but because of their potential strategic impact. Once compromised, all sorts of short-term and long-term effects can be achieved, ranging from denying a capability to covertly reducing its effectiveness or efficiency, on demand. Therefore, military forces must address cyber security at all levels: strategic, while acquiring platforms and systems, operational, while planning military missions and tactical, while in operations. The IST-151 Research Task Group aims to share and apply methodologies, processes, tools and technologies to assess military systems’ cyber security.
