Typically, control systems have not included cybersecurity as part of the architecture and design engineering requirements for Facility-Related Control System (FRCS), which increases both the complexity and cost of these platforms.

UFC 4-010-06 provides requirements for incorporating cybersecurity into the design of FRCS.  The use the DoD Risk Management Framework (DoDI 8500.01 and DoDI 8510.01) as the vehicle to reduce and mitigate vulnerabilities to these platforms. UFC 4-010-06 defines FRCS as “a subset of control systems that are used to monitor and control equipment and systems related to DoD real property facilities (e.g., building control systems, utility control systems, electronic security systems, and fire and life safety systems.”

Cybernet security engineers are well-versed on how to incorporate the best cybersecurity engineering principles into the Systems Engineering Life Cycle (SELC). They achieve this through a variety of design programs. Cybernet uses NIST SP 800-160 Volumes I and II in conjunction with NIST SP 800-82 as engineering guidelines for developing cyber-defendable systems. In addition, Cybernet is able to provide outstanding insight into ensuring that your FRCS maintains mission readiness, even in the midst of contentious or compromised operating conditions.
