• Assist with cybersecurity requirements related to cloud environments, externally hosted services, and vendor-supported systems.

• Help ensure cybersecurity considerations are integrated throughout system design, development, fielding, operation, and upgrade activities.

• Support acquisition and program documentation requirements related to cybersecurity strategies, compliance, and authorization readiness.

• Coordinate across Joint, interagency, and organizational stakeholders where differing policies or processes affect system authorization and interoperability.
