The DOE Office of Intelligence and Counterintelligence approves operation of these information systems.

Section 3

(3) Implementation. A plan for the implementation of this NAP must be completed within 60 days after modification of the site’s contract to include this NAP. A plan for implementation of this NAP within an NNSA Federal organization must be completed within 60 days after issuance of this NAP. The implementation plan must include, at a minimum, the program activity to be modified and created; the starting date of revision or development; the estimated due date; and the responsible party for the stated activity. This implementation plan shall not exceed three years from the date of formal approval of the implementation plan. The implementation plan must be approved by the local NNSA Designating Approval Authority (DAA). This means that the NNSA Element’s Cyber Security Program (CSP) must comply with all requirements set forth in this NAP. Further, all information systems as defined in the Glossary must be protected in accordance with the requirements set forth in this NAP. 4. BACKGROUND. The loss or compromise of information entrusted to NNSA or its contractors may affect the National Security, the Nation's economic competitive position, the environment, NNSA missions, and other citizens of the United States. All NAP 14.1-C 3 05-02-08 information collected, created, processed, transmitted, stored, or disseminated by, or on behalf of, the NNSA on automated information systems requires some level of protection. Loss or compromise of information entrusted to NNSA or its contractors may affect the nation's economic competitive position, the environment, the National Security, NNSA missions, or the citizens of the United States. The risk management approach defined in the NNSA CSP provides for the graded, cost-effective protection of information systems containing unclassified or classified information. The NNSA NAP 14 series, NNSA Threat Statement, the NNSA Risk Assessment document, and the NNSA CSP comprises the NNSA PCSP. The NNSA PCSP systematically integrates cyber security into management and work practices at all levels in the NNSA so that missions are accomplished while appropriately protecting all information on information systems; establishes requirements and responsibilities for protecting information on information systems for the purpose of maintaining National Security and ensuring the continuity of NNSA operations; and ensures that NNSA cyber security is consistent with, and achieves the objectives of all applicable Executive Orders, National Security Directives, DOE Orders and Manuals, and Federal regulations. a. The PCSP is implemented through a CSPP for each NNSA Element. b. Risk management is a process that considers the prevailing NNSA threat analysis, the attributes of the information being protected, the effect of countermeasures in place and planned, and the remaining vulnerability of the processing environment (residual risk). c. The PCSP establishes minimum protection requirements based on the Consequences of Loss (CoL) of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of all information. d. Protection requirements for all information systems are documented in Information System Security Plans (ISSPs). e. The PCSP is consistent with other NNSA Directives and DOE Orders, Manuals, and Technical and Management Requirements that provide specific security requirements for information systems, including communications systems, transmission systems, as well as classified and unclassified matter through administrative procedures, logical access, and physical security requirements.

BY ORDER OF THE ADMINISTRATOR: THOMAS P. D ' A G O S ~ O Administrator NAP 14.1-C I-1 05-02-08 CHAPTER I. NNSA PCSP OVERVIEW 1. INTRODUCTION. The requirements of the NNSA PCSP, as detailed in this NAP, apply to any information system or network that is used to collect, create, process, transmit, store, or disseminate information for the NNSA. The NNSA PCSP implements National and Departmental cyber security policies. 2. PCSP MANAGEMENT. While cyber security is everybody’s responsibility, there are several positions that have key roles in the NNSA PCSP. They are: 1) the CSPM; 2) the DAA; 3) the Information System Security Office Manager (ISOM); 4) the Information Systems Security Site Manager (ISSM); 5) the Information System Owner (ISO); and 6) the Information System Security Officer (ISSO). The roles and responsibilities for these positions are described in Chapter II. 3. CYBER SECURITY PROGRAM PLAN. Implementation of the NNSA PCSP is documented in a CSPP. A CSPP must be prepared for each NNSA Element, unless the Element is covered under another CSPP. The CSPP is the document that outlines the policies, procedures, and practices of an Element’s CSP. The CSPP is a management- level document that details the Element’s policies, procedures, and practices for ensuring effective cyber security. It also explains the site, or application-specific environment, missions, and threats. The policies, procedures, practices, environments, missions, and threats that are applicable to systems and major applications at the Enterprise level are documented in the NNSA Element’s CSPPs. 4. MINIMUM INFORMATION SYSTEM SECURITY CONFIGURATIONS. The NNSA PCSP requires all NNSA Elements to implement and maintain NNSA-approved minimum security configurations. The minimum security configurations for unclassified and classified information systems, as determined by the system categorization process, are listed in NAP 14.2-C, NNSA Certification and Accreditation (C&A) Process, Chapter III. Each NNSA Element must implement NNSA-specified or NNSA-approved monitoring capabilities to ensure that protection features defined in the approved minimum security configurations are maintained in the system. If the minimum security configuration cannot be implemented, this must be stated in the Risk Assessment for the system. The monitoring capability must provide continuous review and reporting of the status of the minimum security configuration specified for each information system. The monitoring capability must provide the ability to continuously detect and manage changes in software used in the information system components. If an information system cannot implement an NNSA-approved minimum information system security configuration due to operational or mission requirements, a new minimum security configuration must be developed and approved by NNSA CSPM. The minimum security configuration must provides assurance that all security measures I-2 NAP 14.1-C 05-02-08 are implemented and maintained in the information system, documented in the ISSP, and approved by the local NNSA DAA. 5. CERTIFICATION AND ACCREDITATION. The NNSA PCSP implements the National and Departmental requirements for the C&A of all information systems. The NNSA PCSP requires that each information system be accredited every three (3) years, or when significant changes have been made to the system, the system environment, the threat, or cyber security requirements, in response to changes in the NNSA PCSP. Each information system must receive an accreditation, i.e., approval to operate (ATO) or an interim approval to operate (IATO), before beginning operational activities. NAP 14.2- C, NNSA C&A Process, sets forth the requirements for the C&A program.

Section 7

6. INFORMATION SYSTEM SECURITY PLAN (ISSP). All information systems processing information at a site must be included as part of an ISSP, and they must receive an ATO or IATO before production. The ISSP is the basis for C&A process. The ISSP documents the security environment in which the information system exists, such as the cyber security requirements needed to protect the information on the system, and implementation of the cyber security requirements for formal accreditation of the information system. The ISSP must be tailored to address the characteristics of the information system, operational requirements, security policy, and prudent risk management throughout the system's lifecycle as conditions change. Required information for the ISSP is thoroughly described in NAP 14.2-C, NNSA C&A Process. NAP 14.1-C II-1 05-02-08 CHAPTER II. MANAGEMENT STRUCTURE AND RESPONSIBILITIES 1. INTRODUCTION.

INTRODUCTION. This chapter establishes the minimum criteria and processes for reporting and responding to cyber security incidents involving NNSA information systems. 2. REPORTING CRITERIA AND PROCESSES. a. Reportable Cyber Security Incidents. The site’s CSPP must document the processes for reporting cyber security incidents that are IMI-1 and IMI-2. Cyber security-related incidents must be coordinated with Safeguards and Security. In addition, cyber security-related incidents must be reported that meet one or more of the following criteria: (1) Incidents of Security Concern. Report the cyber security aspects of the following Incidents of Security Concern involving National Security Systems, as adapted from DOE M 470.4-1, Safeguards and Security Program Planning and Management.

Section 26

(a) Impact Measurement Index (IMI-1). Report incidents that pose an immediate danger or short-term threat to National Security interests and/or critical NNSA or DOE assets, that potentially create a serious security situation, or that create high media visibility interest. The following cyber security incidents must be reported according to the procedures in this NAP, in addition to the reporting requirements in DOE M 470.4-1. These incidents must be reported within one working hour of discovery. (i) Confirmed or suspected loss, theft, diversion, or unauthorized release of Weapon Data contained in an information system or on cyber media. (ii) Confirmed or suspected loss, theft, diversion, unauthorized release of TOP SECRET information or Special Access Program (SAP) information contained in an information system or on cyber media. (iii) Confirmed or suspected intrusions, hacking, or break-ins into NNSA information systems containing TOP SECRET or SAP information. (b) Impact Measurement Index (IMI-2). Report incidents that pose a near- or long-term threat to National Security interests and/or critical NNSA or DOE assets, or incidents that potentially create a crisis or dangerous situation. The following cyber security incidents must be reported according to the procedures in this VII-2 NAP 14.1-C 05-02-08 NAP, in addition to any other reporting. These incidents must be reported within eight working hours of discovery. (i) Confirmed or suspected intrusions, hacks, or break-ins into NNSA information systems or cyber media, containing Confidential Non-Nuclear Weapons Information or Secret Restricted Data Information. (ii) Confirmed or suspected intrusions, hacking, or break-ins into NNSA information systems or cyber media containing Confidential Non-Nuclear Weapons Information or Secret Restricted Data Information. (iii) Loss of classified information that must be reported to other Government agencies or foreign associates. (iv) The loss of any DOE classified information involving NNSA information systems or cyber media, which requires State or local government or other Federal agency notification. (c) Impact Measurement Index (IMI-3). Report incidents that pose long-term threats to NNSA or DOE security interests, or incidents that could potentially degrade the overall effectiveness of the NNSA or the Department's protection programs. The following cyber security incidents must be reported according to the procedures in this NAP, in addition to any other reporting. These incidents must be reported within eight working hours of discovery.

Section 27

(2) Incidents of NNSA Cyber Security Concern. These incidents must be reported based on the Type and System Impact Category, as defined below. Incidents may be, but are not limited to, the result of cyber security alerts received and investigated by the site. (a) Type 1 incidents are successful incidents that potentially create serious breaches of DOE and/or NNSA cyber security, or have the potential to generate negative media interest. The following are the currently defined Type 1 incidents. (i) Compromise or Intrusion. All unintentional or intentional instances of system compromise or intrusion by unauthorized persons must be reported, including user- level compromises, root (administrator) compromises, and instances in which users exceed privilege levels. (ii) Web Site Defacement. All instances of a defaced Web site must be reported. (iii) Malicious Code. All instances of successful large network site-wide infection, or persistent attempts at infection by malicious code, such as viruses, Trojan horses, or worms, must be reported. (iv) Denial of Service. Intentional or unintentional denial of service (successful or persistent attempts) that affects or threatens to affect a critical service, or that denies access to all or one or more large portions of a network, must be reported. (v) Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP). Any activity that adversely affects an asset identified as critical infrastructure must be reported. NNSA CIP assets are determined by the NNSA Administrator. (vi) Unauthorized Use. Unauthorized use should be construed as any activity that adversely affects an information system’s normal, baseline performance and/or is not recognized as being related to NNSA’s mission. For VII-4 NAP 14.1-C 05-02-08 example, unauthorized use can be using a DOE or NNSA computer to obtain Government data without authorization. Unauthorized use can involve using systems to break the law. Unauthorized use includes, but is not limited to, port scanning that excessively degrades performance. Note that these activities may only be performed when authorized by the DAA: IP (Internet protocol) spoofing; network reconnaissance; monitoring; hacking into servers; running traffic-generating applications that generate unnecessary network broadcast storms or drive large amounts of traffic to computers; or using illegal (or misusing copyrighted) software images, applications, data, and music. (b) Type 2 incidents are attempted incidents that pose potential long- term threats to DOE and/or NNSA cyber security interests, or that may degrade the overall effectiveness of the Department’s cyber security posture. The following are the currently defined Type 2 incidents. (i) Attempted Intrusion. A significant and/or persistent attempted intrusion that stands out above the daily activity or noise level, as determined by the system owner, and that would result in unauthorized access (compromise) if the system were not protected. (ii) Reconnaissance Activity. Persistent surveillance and resource mapping probes and scans that stand out above the daily activity or noise level and represent activity that is designed to collect information about vulnerabilities in a network and map network resources and available services.

Section 28

b. System Impact Categories. System impact categories characterize the potential impact of incidents that compromise DOE or NNSA information and information systems. Such incidents may impact DOE or NNSA operations, assets, individuals, missions, or reputations. System impact categories identify the level of sensitivity and criticality of information and information systems by assessing the impact of the LOC, integrity, and availability. Performing this impact analysis is a fundamental step in risk assessment. Each of the security objectives, such as confidentiality, integrity, and availability, is assessed according to categories in Table VII-2 on the following page. (1) Low Impact. Loss of system confidentiality, integrity, and availability could be expected to have a limited adverse effect on DOE or NNSA operations, assets, or individuals, requiring minor corrective actions or repairs. NAP 14.1-C VII-5 05-02-08 (2) Moderate Impact. Loss of system confidentiality, integrity, and availability could be expected to have a serious adverse effect on DOE or NNSA operations, assets, or individuals, including significant degradation or major damage, requiring extensive corrective actions or repairs. (3) High impact. Loss of system confidentiality, integrity, and availability could be expected to have a severe or catastrophic adverse effect on DOE and NNSA operations, assets, or individuals. The incident could cause the loss of mission capability for a period that poses a threat to human life or results in the loss of major assets. Table V11-2. Required Time Frame for Reporting Cyber Security Incidents to the Information Assurance Response Center (IARC) System Impact Category Incident Type Low Moderate High Type 1 Within 4 hours Within 1 hour Within 1 hour Type 2 Within 1 week Within 24 hours Within 24 hours Personally Identifiable Information (PII)* Within 35 minutes Within 35 minutes Within 35 minutes * Based on mandated reporting requirements for PII, all suspected or confirmed incidents involving PII must be reported within 35 minutes regardless of the Type or System Impact. See definition and examples in Appendix XVIII for further clarification. Figure VII-1 illustrates the process for reporting NNSA cyber security incidents. For PII, see Figures VII-2 and VII-3.

NNSA PII Cyber Security Incident Reporting Process VII-8 NAP 14.1-C 05-02-08 Figure VII-3. NNSA PII Management – Lost or Stolen Data Process Flow c. The cognizant ISOM must be notified within 24 hours of discovery of an incident by the NNSA site. Monthly reports on the status of incident resolution, whether or not any reportable, successful, or attempted incidents have occurred during the month, must also be transmitted to the ISOM. d. Cyber Security Incident Report Content. The content and format of an incident report will be specified by the IARC. At a minimum, incident reports must include date(s), time(s), type, source, corrective actions taken, if any, resources affected, site impact, and site point-of-contact. Sources may vary depending on the type of attack, but may include Internet Protocol (IP) address, e-mail address, or other identifying source characteristics. Additional content may be specified by the DAA and/or IARC, as incident situations change.

Section 29

e. Incidents Involving PII. All suspected or confirmed cyber security incidents involving PII as defined in Appendix B, Definitions, must be reported to the NAP 14.1-C VII-9 05-02-08 IARC within 35 minutes of discovery. Discovery is defined as the moment that the CSSM or their staff have determined that a reported incident could involve PII. This notification can be verbal or written via e-mail. As additional information is discovered pertaining to the incident, the impacted site must provide IARC with the updated information within 35 minutes. Note that if a primary impacted site has solicited the assistance of another secondary site during the investigation, the primary site has the responsibility for reporting all information to the IARC. f. Archiving Cyber Security Incident Information. Sites must store all information related to a reportable incident, as defined in paragraph 2.a of this chapter for at least one year. Storage methods, including custody, must comply with applicable evidentiary requirements for possible future law enforcement use. g. Counterintelligence Reporting. Events identified in DOE O 475.1, Counterintelligence Program, must be reported by the IARC to the Office of Intelligence and Counterintelligence (OICI), in accordance with the reporting procedures in DOE O 475.1. h. Automated Systems. Automated systems may be used to implement these protocols. 3. CIAC CYBER SECURITY ALERTS. Cyber security alerts issued by CIAC shall be investigated, analyzed, and reported as an incident. Positive feedback from the sites is required in response to an alert, and the incident reporting mechanism provides the necessary information. VII-10 NAP 14.1-C 05-02-08 This page intentionally left blank. NAP 14.1-C VIII-1 05-02-08 CHAPTER VIII. INFORMATION CONDITION (INFOCON) 1. INTRODUCTION. This chapter describes the minimum preparations and actions required to react uniformly to warnings of cyber security incidents, heighten or reduce the cyber defensive posture, defend against computer network attacks, and mitigate sustained damage to NNSA information and infrastructure, including computer and telecommunications networks and systems. The INFOCON is a comprehensive defense posture and response based on the status of information systems, NNSA operations, and intelligence assessments of adversary capabilities and intent. The INFOCON system impacts all personnel who use NNSA information systems, protects systems while supporting mission accomplishment, and coordinates the overall defensive effort through adherence to standards. The INFOCON system presents a structured, coordinated approach to react to adversarial attacks on NNSA information, computer systems, and networks and systems. While all systems are vulnerable to some degree, factors such as low-cost, readily available information technology, increased system connectivity, and remote access capability make Computer Network Attack (CNA) an attractive option to an adversary. CNA is defined as “operations to disrupt, deny, degrade, or destroy information resident in computers and computer networks, or the computers and networks themselves.” INFOCON also outlines countermeasures to scanning, probing, and other suspicious activity, unauthorized access, and data browsing. NNSA INFOCON measures focus on computer network-based protective measures due to the unique nature of CNA. Each level reflects a defensive posture based on the risk to NNSA operations through the disruption of information systems and networks.

Section 30

2. CRITERIA AND PROCESSES. a. Each NNSA site's INFOCON response measure must be documented in the site’s CSPP. b. INFOCON procedures must be well integrated with the site’s Security Condition (SECON) procedures, emergency procedures, Continuity of Operations plans, and incident handling processes. c. Cyber security incidents must be reported as described in Chapter VII. d. DAAs may evaluate their situation and recommend changes in the INFOCON to the NNSA Site Manager for sites under their cognizance; however, the INFOCON must remain at least at high as the current INFOCON directed by NNSA. If the NNSA Site Manager agrees to the recommended change in INFOCON status, the DAA must report the change to the CSPM within 4 hours. e. The CSPM will notify DAA when the NNSA INFOCON is changed, through the most rapid means available, and must notify the CSPM if recommended or directed INFOCON response measures conflict with organization or mission priorities within 2 hours of NNSA determination of INFOCON response measures. f. The DAA must disseminate INFOCON information within their organization and VIII-2 NAP 14.1-C 05-02-08 to organizations under their cognizance, through the most rapid means available. 3. NNSA INFOCON. Several critical assumptions were made about the nature of CNA and Computer Network Exploit (CNE) in developing the NNSA INFOCON system. Understanding these assumptions is essential to effective implementation of this system. a. Shared Risk. In today’s network-centric environment, risk assumed by one NNSA site is risk shared by all. Unlike most other security activities, a successful network intrusion in one NNSA location may, in many cases, facilitate access at other locations. This necessitates a common understanding of the situation and responses associated with the declared NNSA INFOCON. These actions must be carried out concurrently at all NNSA locations for an effective defense. b. Advance Preparation. Preparation is key, given the speed and reduced signature of CNA and CNE. Protective measures must be planned, prepared, exercised, and often executed well in advance of an attack. Preventive measures are emphasized in INFOCON responses because there may be little time to react effectively during the attack. Prevention of system compromise is preferable but may not be achievable. c. Anonymity of Attacker. Attributing the attack to its ultimate source, if possible, will normally not occur until after the attack has been executed. This limits the range and type of options available to INFOCON decision makers. To effectively operate in this environment, knowledge of the adversary’s identity cannot be a prerequisite to execution of defensive strategies and tactics. d. Characterization of the Attack. Distinguishing between hacks, attacks, system anomalies, and operator error may be difficult. The most prudent approach is to assume malicious intent until an event is assessed otherwise. See Chapter VII for various assessments to consider. e. INFOCON Levels. The NNSA INFOCON system presents a structured, coordinated approach to defend against and react to adversarial attacks on NNSA information, computer systems, and telecommunication networks and systems. The NNSA INFOCON system identifies the five levels of CNA and CNE conditions within NNSA, as shown in Table VIII-1. Table VIII-1. INFOCON Levels NAP 14.1-C VIII-3 05-02-08 INFOCON Level Description RED (Critical)

Section 31

Successful information system attack(s) detected that impact NNSA operations such as a Type 1 compromise and/or intrusion or DOS, with a moderate or high impact. Widespread incidents that undermine ability to function effectively. Significant risk of mission failure. Computer Network Attack against national infrastructure or National Security element. YELLOW (Elevated) Indications and warnings (I&W) indicate targeting of specific system, location, unit, or operation. Significant level of network probes, scans, or activities detected, indicating a pattern of concentrated reconnaissance. Network penetration or DOS attempted with no impact to NNSA or DOE operations, such as Type 2 attempted intrusion with a low impact. Incident occurs at NNSA site that affects an NNSA Enterprise System, or it may impact another NNSA site, such as a Type 1 compromise and/or intrusion with a low impact. Intelligence indicates imminent attack against NNSA or DOE site. BLUE (Guarded) I&W indicate general threat. Regional events occurring that affect U.S .interests and are likely to affect NNSA interests. May involve potential adversaries with suspected or known CNA capability. Information system probes, scans, or other activities detected indicating a pattern of surveillance, such as Type 2 reconnaissance activity with a moderate or high impact. Nation-or Internet-wide computer network exploits, such as a Type 1 Web site defacement, malicious code, or denial of service (DOS), with an impact of low. Increased and/or more predictable threat events. Incident occurs at NNSA or DOE site. GREEN (Normal) No significant activity. Normal operations. Network penetration or denial of service attempted with no impact to NNSA, DOE, or site operations such as Type 2 reconnaissance activity or intrusion attempts with a low impact. Minimal attack success, successfully counteracted, such as a Type 1 unauthorized use with a low impact. General threat unpredictable. 4. INFOCON ACTIVITIES. VIII-4 NAP 14.1-C 05-02-08 a. Determining the INFOCON. There are three broad categories of factors that influence the INFOCON: operational, technical, and intelligence, including foreign intelligence and law enforcement intelligence. Some factors may fall into more than one category. The INFOCON level is based on significant changes in one or more of them. Appendix C describes several factors that may be considered when determining the INFOCON. The decision to change the INFOCON should be tempered by the overall operational and security context at that time. For example, an intruder could gain unauthorized access and not cause damage to systems or data. This may only warrant INFOCON BLUE or GREEN during peacetime, but it may warrant INFOCON ORANGE during a crisis. Also, the incident may warrant a high INFOCON at the affected site but not throughout the NNSA as a whole. b. Declaring INFOCONs. The NNSA CSPM will recommend changes in NNSA INFOCON to the NNSA CIO, who is responsible for declaring an NNSA INFOCON. Assimilation and evaluation of information to assess the CNA and CNE situation NNSA-wide will be a collaborative effort coordinated by the CSPM. c. Managers of NNSA sites are responsible for assessing the situation and establishing the proper INFOCON, based on evaluation of all relevant factors. See Appendix D and E for criteria and guidance, respectively. NNSA site managers may change the INFOCON of their organizations or site(s); however, they must remain at least as high as the current INFOCON directed by NNSA. Managers changing the INFOCON of their organization or site(s) must report to the CSPM using the same reporting format described in paragraph 4.d of this chapter.

Section 32

d. Response Measures. Ideally, CNA/CNE operations will be based on advanced warning of an attack. Measures should be commensurate with the risk, the adversary’s assessed capability and intent, and mission requirements. Over- aggressive countermeasures may result in self-inflicted degradation of system performance and communication ability, which may contribute to the adversary’s objectives. Managers must also consider what impact of imposing a higher INFOCON for their organization will have on connectivity with computer networks and systems of other NNSA sites and operations. Managers will notify the CSPM, through the cognizant ISOM, if recommended or directed response measures conflict with organization or mission priorities. Regardless of the INFOCON level declared at the affected site, it is incumbent upon the affected site to report all unauthorized accesses in a timely manner, in accordance with the NNSA PCSP. Each NNSA site shall have documented procedures to guide their responses and ensure these procedures are well integrated with other site SECON, emergency procedures, and Continuity of Operations plans. See Appendix D and E for recommended action activities. NAP 14.1-C VIII-5 05-02-08 e. Reporting. Reporting of cyber security incidents must be accomplished as described in Chapter VII. Note, however, that INFOCONs assess potential and/or actual impact to NNSA operations and must be reported as follows: (1) Reporting Channels. NNSA sites must report INFOCON changes to the NNSA CSPM and the cognizant DAA. (2) Reporting Frequency. NNSA sites must report INFOCON changes for their sites no later than 4 working hours after the INFOCON has changed. Provide whatever information is available at the time and indicate information that is unknown or unavailable. Information missing from the initial report will be forwarded in a follow-up report within 24 hours of the initial report. (3) Report Formats. Reports of changes in INFOCON should be accompanied by an operational assessment of the situation, when appropriate. Appendix E outlines a process for assessing the operational impact of a CNA. Report contents shall include, as a minimum: (a) For all INFOCONs: Organization and location, date and time of report, current INFOCON, reason for declaration of this INFOCON, response actions taken, and POC name and contact information. (b) INFOCON YELLOW and Higher. All of the above, plus U. S. Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) or NNSA IARC Number (IARC will report to CIAC) and Law Enforcement Agency (LEA) case number, with POC name and contact information, when available. (c) INFOCON ORANGE and Higher: All of the above, plus system(s) affected; degree to which operational functions are affected; impact (actual and/or potential) on current and planned missions; and/or general capabilities; restoration priorities; and workarounds. f. Dissemination of NNSA INFOCON. The CSPM will notify the DAA when the NNSA INFOCON is changed, through the most rapid means available. The DAA sites must notify the CSPM, if recommended or directed INFOCON response measures conflict with organizational or mission priorities, within two (2) hours of NNSA determination of INFOCON response measures. NNSA sites are responsible for rapid dissemination of the INFOCON information within their organization, and to contractor organizations under their cognizance. Notification will include the following information: (1) Date and time of report.

NAP 14.1-C IX-1 05-02-08 CHAPTER IX. PLAN OF ACTIONS AND MILESTONES. 1. INTRODUCTION. This chapter documents the minimum requirements for establishing a management tracking tool for the documentation and correction of security program and system-level findings and incidents. The primary intent of the Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M) is to assist NNSA management with tracking and mitigating program weaknesses. Additionally, the POA&M assists external regulatory agencies with oversight responsibilities. A finding is a determined vulnerability pertaining to technology, operations, and/or people that allow compromise to an organization’s information or associated information systems. Findings are identified through various activities, such as risk management, self assessment, audits, and ST&E processes. All NNSA Elements must develop, document, and implement POA&M policies and procedures consistent with the following requirements and commensurate with the level of security required for the organization’s environment and specific needs. This chapter is compliant with DOE TMR-6, Plan of Action and Milestones. 2. CRITERIA AND PROCESSES. a. POA&M Content Requirements. Each NNSA Element must define a site-specific POA&M process in their respective CSPPs. The Element’s POA&M documentation must include the following information, at a minimum: (1) Reporting all program and system-level findings identified by the Office of HSS, the General Accounting Office (GAO), the Office of Inspector General (OIG), and other outside external regulatory agencies. Findings or incidents identified by internal assessment activities, security reviews, or operations are tracked by the POA&M at the determination of the DAA. (2) Tracking program and system-level findings with open Corrective Action Plans (CAPs). (3) Validating and associated documentation of closure for each POA&M finding. (4) Integration of the POA&M process with the internal self-assessment program. (5) Identification of the office or organization responsible for tracking and reporting of POA&M information to the NNSA OCIO, on at least a quarterly basis. IX-2 NAP 14.1-C 05-02-08 (6) Process used to assess POA&M activities on at least a quarterly basis.

Section 34

(7) Once the POA&M has been reported, changes are allowed to be made to the original description of the finding, key milestones, schedule completion dates, or source under the direction of the DAA. Notations for any modifications to the original entry are to be made separately, and identified as “Changes to Milestones.” (8) POA&M Reports are to be marked and protected as appropriate; at a minimum, reports are to be considered Official Use Only (OUO). b. Corrective Action Plans. Not all identified findings tracked in the POA&M will have corresponding CAPs. Note, however, that all findings will have associated mitigation milestones tracked within the POA&M. Each NNSA Element must document CAPs at a minimum for any cyber security-related finding identified by the Office of Inspector General and the Office of HSS. If the finding has not been closed within a year of its determination, the NNSA CSPM or cognizant DAA may require that other program or system-level findings be documented in the CAP, based on its impact. c. CAP Content. For documented cyber-security-related findings, and for program and/or system-level weaknesses that require corrective action plans, CAP must contain, at a minimum, the following content: (1) A brief overview and summary of the identified weakness, vulnerability, or finding. (2) Root cause analysis, addressing any systemic program weaknesses. (3) Mitigation and resolution and recurrence prevention strategies. (4) Office or organization responsible for remediation. (5) Resource requirements and expected costs associated with remediation. For system-level POA&Ms, the unique project identifier and project name from the OMB Exhibit 300 or Exhibit 53, where applicable; and for Exhibit 53 systems, the security costs must also be included. (6) Scheduled start and completion date. (7) At least one major milestone and estimated completion date. NAP 14.1-C IX-3 05-02-08 d. CAP Requirements.

NAP 14.1-C X-1 05-02-08 CHAPTER X. VULNERABILITY MANAGEMENT 1. INTRODUCTION. This chapter establishes the minimum requirements for developing a vulnerability management program, including patch management, for NNSA information systems. Vulnerability management is a measurable, proactive process implemented to secure information systems and to improve regulatory compliance posture. Patch management is one method for addressing vulnerabilities. Note that, because not all vulnerabilities have applicable patches, it is essential that security controls, such as remediations, be implemented based on an analysis of possible vulnerabilities associated with an information system. In addition, such controls help to mitigate the impact of a successful exploitation of an unknown vulnerability. This chapter applies to all NNSA Elements that operate and manage information systems that collect, create, process, transmit, store, and/or disseminate unclassified and classified NNSA information. 2. CRITERIA AND PROCESSES. a. Cyber Security Program Plan. Each NNSA Element must address the following vulnerability management program Elements in its site CSPP. (1) Vulnerability management activities, including processes for analyzing, detecting, communicating, and remediating vulnerabilities, as well as interfaces to incident management and configuration processes. (2) The roles and responsibilities of all key personnel responsible for decisions and activities regarding vulnerability management. (3) Awareness, training, and education requirements for all key personnel responsible for vulnerability management activities. b. Vulnerability Management Program. Each NNSA Element must implement a vulnerability management program that addresses at a minimum the following requirements: (1) Identification, analysis, and dissemination of vulnerability information.

PASSWORD GENERATION, PROTECTION, AND USE 1. INTRODUCTION. This chapter establishes minimum criteria and processes for the generation, protection, and use of passwords to support authentication when accessing classified and unclassified NNSA information systems, applications, and resources. This chapter applies to any multi-user information system at a NNSA site that collects, stores, transmits, or processes unclassified or classified information, and uses passwords to authenticate users or applications. 2. CRITERIA AND PROCESSES. a. Password Generation and Verification. Password generation or verification software must ensure that passwords are generated using the following features: (1) Passwords contain at least eight non-blank characters. (2) Passwords contain a combination of letters, preferably a mixture of upper and lowercase numbers, and at least one special character within the first seven positions, provided such passwords are allowed by the operating system or application. (3) Passwords used on information systems that collect, store, transmit, or process classified information must be machine generated, or use DAA- approved alternative methods of authenticating users or generating passwords. (4) Passwords employed by a user on unclassified information systems must be different than passwords employed by the same user on classified information systems.

Section 37

(5) Two-factor authentication should be required for all privileged users, accounts, and actions. b. Password Protection. (1) Passwords used to access information systems processing classified data must be protected at a level commensurate with the classification level and most restrictive category of the information to which they allow access. (2) Passwords used to access information systems processing unclassified data must be protected in accordance with the information with the highest impact level for confidentiality or integrity on the system to which they allow access. XII-2 NAP 14.1-C 05-02-08 (3) Passwords must not: (a) Contain the User Account Identifier (User ID). (b) Contain any common English dictionary word, spelled forward or backwards; dictionaries for other languages may also be used if justified by risk and cost benefit analysis, as documented in the approved ISSP or the CSPP. (c) Employ common names, including the name of any fictional character or place, spelled forward or backwards. (d) Contain any commonly used numbers, such as the employee serial number, Social Security number, birth date, or telephone number associated with the user of the password. (e) Contain any simple pattern of letters or numbers, such as “qwertyxx” or “xyz123xx.” (4) In cases of user-created passwords on unclassified information systems, ensure through verification software and training that selected passwords are consistent with password requirements listed in paragraphs 2a. and b. above. (5) When an information system cannot prevent a password from being echoed, as in a half-duplex connection, an overprint mask must be printed before the password is entered to conceal the typed password. (6) Individuals must not: (a) Share passwords except in emergency circumstances or when there is an overriding operational necessity, as described in the information system's approved ISSP or the site’s CSPP. (b) Enable applications to retain passwords for subsequent reuse, except as described in the information system's approved ISSP. (c) Create their passwords if the password is used for access to classified information. (d) Use group passwords, such as a single password used by a group of users, without some other mechanism that can assure accountability, such as separate and unique network User ID. NAP 14.1-C XII-3 05-02-08 (e) Share group passwords outside the group of authorized users. Group passwords must be changed when any individual in the group is no longer authorized to access the information system where the group password is used. Group passwords must never be reused. c. Standard Passwords. User software, including operating systems and other security-relevant software, may be supplied with standard identifiers, such as System, Test, and Master, and passwords already enrolled in the system. Passwords for all standard identifiers must be changed before allowing the general user population access to the information system. These passwords must be changed after a new system version is installed or after other action is taken that might result in restoration of these standard passwords. d. Password Changing. Passwords must be changed: (1) At least every 6 months. (2) Immediately, but within one business day, after a password has been shared, compromised, or after the user suspects that a password has been compromised. (3) On direction from management or the DAA.

Section 38

e. Administration. The information system, application, or resource where passwords are used for user authentication must, where technically feasible, ensure: (1) Five consecutive failed attempts to provide a legitimate password for an access request results in an access lockout. The process for restoration of an account must be documented or referenced in the approved ISSP. (2) The user password, whether user-selected or automatically generated, is rejected if the password does not meet the criteria in this chapter. (3) Before expiration or lockout will occur, individuals are notified that their passwords are about to expire and must be changed. (4) Any file, folder, database, or other collection of one or more user passwords is protected from access by unauthorized individuals. (5) Periodic monthly or quarterly validation of conformance to password policy, as directed by site policy. f. Clear Text Passwords. The use of clear text passwords must be eliminated from all information systems, applications, and resources. XII-4 NAP 14.1-C 05-02-08 (1) Each NNSA Element’s CSPP shall include a plan, with schedules and milestones, to eliminate the use of clear text, reusable passwords from existing electronic information systems and resources. (2) Each NNSA Element shall develop procedures to ensure that clear text, reusable passwords are removed from new information systems, applications, and resources before the systems, applications, or resources are placed into production use. (3) Other mitigation strategies must be in place and must automatically result in a POA&M. g. Pass-phrase and Entropy-based Passwords. In situations where Pass phrases or entropy-based passwords are used, password generation or verification software must ensure that such passwords meet the following criteria. h. Pass phrases must contain 25 or more characters and at least 2 special characters, and must not begin or end with a special character. i. Password generation based on an entropy approach must comply with the guidance for a Level 1 Authentication Mechanism as described in NIST SP 800- 63, Electronic Authentication Guideline: Recommendations of the National Institute of Standards and Technology 3. CRITERIA AND PROCESSES FOR PRIVILEGED USERS a. Privileged Users. Privileged Users are individuals who have access to system control, monitoring, or administration function, such as system administrators, information system security officers, maintainers, and system programmers. b. Privileged accounts. Privileged accounts are accounts belonging to Privileged Users. Privileged accounts are created for users to perform privileged functions only; that is, privileged users use non-privileged accounts for all non-privileged functions. The use of mandatory multi-factor authentication process is required for system administrator and privileged user access to systems where passwords are used as one authentication method. . NAP 14.1-C XIII-1 05-02-08 CHAPTER XIII. WIRELESS TECHNOLOGIES

Section 39

1. INTRODUCTION. This chapter establishes the minimum security controls that are to be enforced by NNSA sites using wireless technologies to ensure that security risks posed by wireless applications, devices, and network implementations are analyzed appropriately, and controlled. This chapter applies to any wireless technologies that collect, store, transmit, process, create, or disseminate unclassified or classified NNSA information. In addition, this chapter applies to any wireless technology lifecycle, including development of new wireless applications, incorporation of wireless devices into an infrastructure, incorporation of wireless devices outside the infrastructure, development of prototype wireless technologies, and the reconfiguration or upgrade of existing wireless technologies and legacy systems. Land mobile radios, one-way receive- only devices, and mobile satellite services are excluded from this chapter. 2. CRITERIA AND PROCESSES. In order to ensure that security risks posed by wireless technologies are sufficiently analyzed and appropriately controlled, NNSA sites must establish a systematic process for managing risks posed by wireless technologies, and ensure that the process is described fully in their CSPP. The process must: a. Identify the roles and responsibilities of all personnel responsible for the decision whether to incorporate wireless into the environment, including personnel responsible for telecommunications; TEMPEST; Protected Transmission Systems (PTS); and Technical Surveillance Countermeasures (TSCM) program compliance. b. Evaluate the business needs for deploying wireless technologies, to include cost- benefit analysis, and whether more secure technologies, such as expansion of the wired network, are feasible. c. Include a risk assessment to evaluate risks to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of site information resources, in the context of exposing information to the hazards associated with utilizing wireless networking devices, and the entire spatial volume through which the transmitted signal is capable of being received. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication (SP) 800-48, Wireless Network Security 802.1, Bluetooth and Handheld Devices, may be used to assist in decision making. d. Ensure that risks for connecting to site LANs are evaluated, and security controls are in place to protect systems and LANs. e. Evaluate planned wireless networking applications, with respect to specific wireless technologies, physical location on site, proximity to sensitive or classified information processing areas, connectivity of wireless devices to site computers and networks, and the Information Groups and information systems connected to wireless information systems. XIII-2 NAP 14.1-C 05-02-08 f. Identify specific security mechanisms implemented through technical, operational, management, and assurance controls that will ensure risk is maintained at an acceptable level, and the schedule for testing such controls to ensure they operate as intended. At a minimum, these controls must: (1) Require semi-annual performance reviews to ensure accuracy of access point inventory, security of configurations, or identification of unauthorized devices. (2) Require proper installation and physical control of all access points. (3) Ensure NIC and access-point firmware is up-to-date. (4) Ensure that only authorized people can reset the access points.

Section 40

(5) Assign strong passwords to access points. In addition, access points must be administered via the site’s wired network, or locally via the access point’s built-in COM ports. (6) Utilize static IP addresses for clients and access points. (7) Ensure the capability to detect transmissions by unauthorized access points and/or wireless clients is in place and operational before authorized use. (8) Require the regular application of patches and security enhancements. (9) Adopt strong encryption methods that encompass end-to-end encryption of information as it passes throughout the wireless network. Use Type II or III products to encrypt transmission of information to or from non- National Security Systems. (10) Address the DOE TEMPEST/Technical Security Countermeasures (TSCM) concerns, such as wireless, audio, video, and infrared, when allowing operation of these devices in security areas. g. NNSA Elements utilizing wireless technologies accredited for use with National Security Systems must implement, at a minimum, the following controls: (1) The wireless device must not be used to download or load any shareware, extraneous software, or unauthorized freeware. (2) The wireless device must not be synchronized with any unclassified system. NAP 14.1-C XIII-3 05-02-08 (3) Wireless networks must support security for voice, data, and control channel information, only via approved Type 1 encryption for all modes of operation. (4) Wireless networks must be monitored to detect unencrypted signals transmitted from areas where classified information is being electronically stored, processed, or transmitted, to ensure that unauthorized signals are not transmitted beyond approved boundaries. (5) Wireless networks must use security mechanisms compatible and interoperable with those mechanisms used on wired voice and data telecommunication networks and computing devices. (6) Wireless networks must implement identification and authentication measures at both the device and network level. XIII-4 NAP 14.1-C 05-02-08 This page intentionally left blank. NAP 14.1-C XIV-1 05-02-08 CHAPTER XIV. REMOTE ACCESS 1. INTRODUCTION. Remote access is defined as accessing an information system, at the system or application level, from a location outside the confines of a network, as defined in each site’s CSPP. This chapter does not address risks associated with or criteria and processes specific to wireless networks and devices. Criteria and processes for these are addressed in Chapter XI. Remote access to NNSA information and systems can promote cost-effective benefits to the NNSA mission and workforce. At the same time, remote access can introduce significant risk to those systems. Federal law and implementing policies require agencies to develop, document, and implement programs to assess the risk and magnitude of harm that could result from the unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, or destruction of information and information systems that support agency operations and assets. The remote system used to access a NNSA information system may not have been evaluated through the NNSA PCSP C&A process; therefore, its security policy is unknown. Based upon documented risk assessments, agencies must provide adequate security to maintain an acceptable level of risk to agency operations and assets. 2. CRITERIA AND PROCESSES.

Section 41

a. All NNSA sites must develop and implement policies, processes, and procedures to govern remote access of NNSA information systems by users utilizing NNSA and non-NNSA owned equipment. These processes and procedures are documented as part of the site’s CSPP.

CONTINGENCY PLANNING 1. INTRODUCTION. Information systems are essential to NNSA mission success; therefore, it is critical that the services provided by these systems be able to operate effectively without excessive interruption. Contingency planning refers to a coordinated strategy involving plans, procedures, and technical measures that enable recovery of systems operations and data after a disruption. Contingency planning generally includes either restoring operations at an alternate location, using alternate equipment, or reverting to a manual process. NNSA recognizes one contingency plan may cover multiple systems, such as one plan that would cover all unclassified desktops. 2. CONTINGENCY PLANNING. The NNSA Contingency Planning Process consists of the following six progressive steps that must be accomplished during the NNSA C&A process. a. Site Planning Policy Statement. The site’s Contingency Planning Policy Statement must define the site’s overall contingency objectives; establish the framework; define contingency planning responsibilities and the criteria; safety of personnel; extent of damage to the site, facility, or system; criticality of the system to the site’s mission; and anticipated disruption for activating the contingency plan(s). Major Elements to be covered in the statement are roles and responsibilities, resource requirements, training requirements, exercise and test schedules, plan maintenance schedule, frequency of backups, storage of backup media, and compliance with NNSA policy.

Section 43

b. Business Impact Analyses (BIAs). The site shall conduct BIAs to identify systems that provide services critical to site operations and prioritize these systems and their components. These BIAs are to provide sufficient information to enable the Contingency Plan Coordinator (CPC) to fully characterize system requirements, processes, and interdependencies to determine contingency requirements and priorities. The purposes of the BIA are to correlate specific systems and components with the critical services that they provide and, based on that information, to characterize the consequences of a disruption to the system components. (1) A BIA for any system designated a Critical Infrastructure or Key Resource may be limited to a determination of critical components required to maintain essential operation of these systems. (2) BIAs for the remaining systems under the purview of the site must include all elements of the BIA. (3) Identify critical information system resources. XV-2 NAP 14.1-C 05-02-08 (4) Identify data on the systems and specify protection measures of the data based on level of confidentiality or classification, such as encryption of backups or secure storage. (5) Identify data users, providers, and flows. (6) Identify system components and infrastructure, such as electric power, servers, routers, authentication servers, required to extract or enter data. (7) Identify disruption impacts and allowable outage times. (8) Identify magnitude of expected disruptions from site-level plans, such as Disaster Recovery, Continuity of Operations, and Occupant Emergency Plans, to determine the threats from natural, human, or environmental sources. (9) Identify the maximum allowable time the system or system component may be unavailable before it prevents a mission-essential function from being performed. (10) Identify any related or dependent systems and processes that will be disrupted by the unavailability of the system. (11) Identify the point in time where the cost of system inoperability and the cost of restoration are equal. (12) Develop recovery priorities. (13) Use data obtained from previous activities to prioritize recovery for systems and system components. (14) Determine recovery timeline for each system component. (15) Initiate preparation of POA&Ms for any systems that are prioritized below current funding capabilities. c. Preventive Controls. Identify measures taken or to be taken to reduce the effects of system disruptions. (1) Identify the vulnerabilities to natural, human, or environmental threats. (2) Develop mitigation strategies to reduce or eliminate impacts to system components, in priority order, based on the BIAs. (3) Update POA&Ms as necessary for any system that is prioritized below current funding capabilities. NAP 14.1-C XV-3 05-02-08 d. Recovery Strategies. Develop thorough recovery strategies to ensure that the system may be recovered as effectively and as quickly as needed following a disruption. (1) Identify threats and/or vulnerabilities that could not be mitigated. (2) Develop recovery strategies, such as Alternate Sites, Hot Sites, Mirrored Sites, rapid equipment replacement, and/or reallocation of existing site equipment, based on the disruption impacts and the allowable outage times from the BIAs.

Section 44

(3) Note that different types of contingency situations will necessitate different readily available staff with particular skills. The plan should identify those personnel or teams to accomplish the decision making, coordination, administrative, and technical functions required for contingency plan execution, such as: (a) Management (b) Damage Assessment (c) Alternate Site Recovery and Coordination (d) Hardware Salvage (e) Data Recovery (f) Database Recovery (g) Application Recovery (h) LAN and/or WAN Recovery (i) Telecommunications (j) Network Operations Recovery (k) Software and Data Recovery (l) System Software (m) Operating System Administration (n) System Recovery (o) Server Recovery (p) Administrative Support XV-4 NAP 14.1-C 05-02-08 (q) Original Site Restoration and Salvage Coordination (r) Test (s) Procurement (equipment and supplies) (t) Physical and Personnel Security (u) Transportation and Relocation (v) Media Relations (w) Legal Affairs (4) Update the POA&M as necessary to include resource requirements to implement this portion of the CP. e. Testing, Training, and Exercises. Testing the plan identifies planning gaps. Exercises identify planning and implementation gaps, whereas training prepares recovery personnel for plan activation. These activities improve plan effectiveness and overall site preparedness. (1) Testing a CP involves the definition of a scenario, test objectives, and criteria that must be met to successfully complete the test of each CP element. (2) The results of all testing must be documented in a test report. (3) Test reports for Critical Infrastructure and Key Resources must be forwarded to the Office of the NNSA CIO through the SOM or SCD, as applicable. (4) Testing may take four forms, as follows: (a) Structured Walkthrough. The most basic type of test. A Structured Walkthrough takes place in a group meeting type of setting, where the main goal is to confirm that critical personnel from all areas are familiar with the BCP – provides an orientation. This test does not usually involve the entire organization, nor does it test the team’s ability to execute it. (b) Tabletop Exercise. This takes place in a classroom-type environment and emulates particular recovery scenarios. During NAP 14.1-C XV-5 05-02-08 plan development, tabletop exercises are conducted on portions of the plan to detect and correct initial errors and misconceptions. Tabletop exercises also provide familiarity for recovery personnel throughout the lifecycle of the system. At a minimum, a Tabletop Exercise of CPs for all systems must be conducted annually, when a Functional Exercise is not conducted. (c) Functional Exercise. This takes place in a simulated environment and utilizes physical testing of procedures, alternate equipment, and alternate locations, to ensure the correctness of procedures, capability of recovery personnel, and technical capabilities of equipment. A Functional Exercise of Critical Infrastructure and Key Resource CP must be conducted annually. All Moderate and High category information systems should undergo a Functional Exercise at least every 2 years to include elements of Notification and Activation, Recovery, and Reconstitution, as a minimum. (d) Full-Scale Exercise. The most comprehensive test is the Full- Scale Exercise, also known as the Operational Exercise. During this test, all or most of the BCP is put into action. The main goal is to simulate an actual recovery situation as closely as possible. The exercise will evolve and develop just as they would in an actual crisis.

Section 45

(5) Training. Recovery personnel must be trained to understand the CP and their applicable role. This training will be accomplished annually and as part of changes to the CP. The following plan elements shall be included in training: (a) Purpose of the plan. (b) Cross-team coordination and communication. (c) Reporting procedures. (d) Security requirements. (e) Team-specific processes such as notification and activation, recovery, and reconstitution. (f) Individual responsibilities in contingency processes. (6) POA&M Update. Update the POA&M as necessary, to include resource requirements to implement this portion of the CP. XV-6 NAP 14.1-C 05-02-08 f. Plan Maintenance. The plan is a living document that is reviewed and updated annually to remain current with system enhancements, results of plan testing, team staffing changes, and changes in NNSA priorities. The CP shall be a configuration item and maintained as part of the ISSP. A change to the system or its environment, which includes CP elements, requires the modified ISSP to be approved prior to implementing the changes. 3. CONTINGENCY PLAN DEVELOPMENT. The CP contains detailed roles, responsibilities, teams, and procedures associated with restoring an IT system following a disruption. The CP should document technical capabilities designed to support contingency operations and be tailored to the site and its requirements. A site-level CP may be written to describe processes that are common to all CPs, with system-specific detail as addendums or separate contingency plans; however, plans should provide quick and clear directions in the event that personnel unfamiliar with the plan or the systems are called on to perform recovery operations. Plans should be clear, concise, and easy to implement in an emergency. Where possible, checklists and step-by-step procedures should be used. a. Introduction. The Introduction includes background and contextual information that makes the plan easier to understand, implement, and maintain, and to orient the reader to the type and location of information contained in the plan. (1) Purpose. This subparagraph establishes the reason for writing the plan. (2) Applicability. The organization(s) impacted by the CP is documented, and the relationship to any other plans supporting or supported by the plan, such as Emergency Management Plans, is described. b. Scope. This paragraph discusses the issues, situations, and conditions addressed and not addressed in the CP. The types of contingency situations the plan is intended to cover should be discussed. These situations may range from a temporary loss of commercial power to disaster recovery operations. The system, location(s) for the system or system components covered, and any assumptions are described. c. References and Requirements. This subparagraph identifies the NNSA, Program, and site requirements for contingency planning. d. Record of Changes. This subparagraph describes the configuration history of the CP by recording dates, version, and reason for CP changes. e. Concept of Operations. The Concept of Operations (CONOPS) element provides additional details about the system, planning framework, response activities, recovery activities, and resumption activities. NAP 14.1-C XV-7 05-02-08 f. System Description. The system description should include system architecture, location(s), internal and external connections, security components, and any other technical detail that would assist contingency teams in understanding the system configuration and operation.

Section 46

(1) Line of Succession. The order of succession identifies the personnel responsible for assuming authority in the event the designated person is unavailable. (2) Responsibilities. This subparagraph describes the overall structure of the contingency teams. Coordination mechanisms and requirements, as well as an overview of team member roles and responsibilities are also described. g. Notification and Activation. The Notification and Activation element defines the initial actions to be accomplished to notify personnel, assess damage, and implement the plan once a disruption or emergency has been detected or is expected. h. Notification Procedures. The method(s) of notification of each team member must take into account the possibilities of widespread disasters, the ability to contact personnel on short notice during and after business hours, and the necessity to contact alternate personnel. Personnel to be notified may be listed in an appendix that identifies the person, their team position, home address, telephone number, pager number, cell phone number, and personal and business e-mail address. Notifications to interconnected systems staff, internal or external to the site, would also be made. These POCs are identified in the ISSP Memorandum of Agreement (MOA)/System Interconnect (SIA) Agreement, but should also be listed in the CP for ease of use when needed. i. Damage Assessment. In order to appropriately implement the CP, the nature and extent of damage must be assessed as early as possible. Personnel performing damage assessment must be sufficiently trained in their part(s) of these procedures that performance can be accomplished without written procedures available. Specific damage assessment procedures may be unique to each system, but the following areas must be addressed: (1) The cause of the emergency or disruption. (2) The potential for additional disruptions or damage. (3) Area affected by the emergency. (4) Status of physical infrastructure, such as structural integrity of the building or room, electric power availability, HVAC, and telecommunications. XV-8 NAP 14.1-C 05-02-08 (5) Inventory and functional status of system components. (6) Type of damage to system components, such as water, fire and heat, physical, and electric surge. (7) System components to be replaced. (8) Estimated time required to restore normal system operation. j. Plan Activation. The CPC evaluates the result of the damage assessment against the plan activation criteria and determines the strategy to be used if the plan is to be activated. The detailed activation criteria are located in this paragraph of the plan, and it covers personnel safety, extent of damage to the facility, extent of damage to the system, criticality to the site’s mission, and anticipated duration of disruption. k. Recovery. The Recovery element includes the operations that begin after the CP has been activated, damage assessment has been completed, if possible, personnel have been notified, and appropriate teams have been mobilized. Recovery activities focus on contingency measures to execute temporary processing capabilities, repair damage to the original system, and restore operational capabilities at the original or new facility. Upon completion of the Recovery Phase, the system will be operational and performing the functions designated in the plan.

Section 47

l. Recovery Sequence. The sequence of recovery activities should reflect the system’s allowable outage time to avoid significant impacts to related systems and their application. Procedures should be written in a stepwise, sequential format so that system components can be restored in a logical manner. The most critical items to restoring service and the system foundation items should be recovered first. Procedures must include coordination activities with other teams or external organizations that are dependent on completion of certain steps, such as when time frames are not being met, a step has been completed that allows another team to proceed, or when items must be procured. m. Recovery Procedures. Recovery procedures are to be written that allow personnel unfamiliar with the site, facility, or system configuration to perform the recovery. Recovery procedures are to include date and time of step completion and the name of the team member who completed it. Particular procedures are to be assigned to the appropriate recovery team and address the following: (1) Obtaining approval to access damaged facilities or areas. (2) Notifying internal and external organizations associated with the system. (3) Obtaining office supplies and work space. NAP 14.1-C XV-9 05-02-08 (4) Obtaining and installing hardware. (5) Obtaining backup media. (6) Restoring operating and application software. (7) Restoring system and application data. (8) Testing system functionality and security. (9) Notification to user(s). (10) Operating alternate equipment. n. Reconstitution. Once the original or new site or facility is restored to the level that it can support the system and its normal processes, the system may be transitioned back to the original or to the new site and/or facility. Until the primary system is restored and tested, the alternate system should continue to be operated. o. The CP should specify teams responsible for restoring or replacing both the facility and the system. The following major activities are addressed: (1) Ensuring adequate infrastructure support, such as electric power, water, telecommunications, security, environmental controls, office equipment, and supplies. (2) Establishing connectivity and interfaces with network components and external systems. (3) Installing system hardware, software, and firmware. This activity should include detailed restoration procedures similar to those followed in Recovery. (4) Testing system operations and security to ensure full functionality. (5) Backing up operational data on the contingency system and uploading to restored system. (6) Shutting down the alternate system. (7) Terminating contingency operations. (8) Securing, removing, and/or relocating all sensitive materials at the alternate site. (9) Arranging for recovery personnel to return to the original facility. XV-10 NAP 14.1-C 05-02-08 4. CONTINGENCY PLAN STRUCTURE. The structure of a CP is based on the importance of systems for which the plan is written. The following paragraphs describe the mandatory CP elements based on the designation of the system. Refer to Appendix G, Contingency Plan Structure. a. Critical Infrastructure. Critical Infrastructure CPs must address each of the elements described in paragraph 3 in sufficient detail to allow technically competent personnel unfamiliar with the system to create and operate the system in a different location.

Section 48

b. Key Resources. Key Resource CPs must address each of the elements indicated in the following paragraph in sufficient detail for personnel familiar with the system to create and operate the system in a different location.

This chapter establishes NNSA policy requirements and responsibilities for clearing, purging, and destroying NNSA information system storage media, memory devices, and other related hardware, hereafter referred to as storage media. Specifically, this chapter provides the following: a. Instructions for clearing, purging, and destroying storage media to preserve the confidentiality of the stored information. b. Instructions for handling classified storage media that will be reused in controlled environments. c. Instructions for sanitizing storage media that has become contaminated with classified or unclassified sensitive information. d. Direction to ensure that no unauthorized information can be retrieved from unclassified NNSA and DOE computer equipment, and storage media that is to be transferred or declared surplus. e. Direction to ensure that all NNSA Element personnel are made aware of requirements for clearing, purging, and destroying information system storage media, memory devices, and related hardware. 2. CRITERIA AND PROCESSES. a. Approved Processes. NNSA-approved processes for clearing, purging, and destroying information system storage media, memory devices, and related hardware that have been used to process, store, or contain unclassified or classified information are listed in the following paragraphs. Decisions to clear, purge, or destroy information system storage media, memory, and other related hardware must be based on the confidentiality of the most sensitive information ever recorded on the storage media. Implementation of these processes and plans for clearing, purging, and destroying information system storage media must be documented in the appropriate CSPPs, including the requirement for documented methods for independently verifying the clearing and purging results. b. CSPP. The CSPP must identify or reference procedures used for the sanitization (clearing, purging, and destruction) that implement the concepts and processes listed below.

Section 49

Unclassified Storage Media Processes. (1) In addition to the clearing processes listed in Tables XVI-1 through XVI- 3, processes to clear unclassified storage media are to include the following: (2) Storage media hosting Government information is to be cleared if it will be reused by a potential user who has a different authority for access, including Need-to-Know, or in a system that contains information whose Security Category (confidentiality, impact) is the same or higher.

Section 50

(3) Only overwriting software and hardware that are compatible with media to be overwritten and approved by the DAA will be used. Care should be used to ensure a match of software and hardware to the media, considering the make, model, and manufacturing date of the media. (4) One-pass overwrites are sufficient for clearing storage media that does not contain SUI. If the storage media contains SUI, three-pass overwrites must be performed. (5) Individuals performing unclassified storage media clearing must certify and document successful completion of the process to include the following: (a) Purpose of clearing (reuse or release). (b) Storage media unique identifiers, such as serial number, make, and model. (c) The Information Type with the highest confidentiality impact hosted on the media prior to clearing.

This chapter describes the terms Sensitive Unclassified Information (SUI), including Personally Identifiable Information (PII) as defined by DOE. NAP 14.2-C, NNSA Certification and Accreditation (C&A) Process, establishes the minimum security criteria and processes for protecting this type of information. All NNSA Elements must develop, document, and implement policies for protecting SUI, including PII. 2. CRITERIA AND PROCESSES. To ensure that SUI, including PII, on NNSA information systems is appropriately managed, each NNSA site must establish policies and procedures that address the following:

Section 54

a. Sensitive Unclassified Information. SUI is defined as unclassified information requiring protection mandated by policy or laws, such as OUO; Export Control Information (ECI); Unclassified Controlled Nuclear Information (UCNI); Naval Nuclear Power Information (NNPI); Personally Identifiable Information (PII); and other information specifically designated as requiring SUI protection. Extensions of the definition of SUI must be documented in the Element’s CSPP and ISSP. The OMB definition of PII is included below. This definition is not to be modified by Senior DOE Management or its elements. Senior DOE Management should interpret this definition by applying the working examples of what is and what is not considered PII, provided in Appendix B, to identify PII within their organizations. b. Personally Identifiable Information (PII) (as defined by OMB). Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is any information about an individual maintained by an Agency, including but not limited to, education, financial transactions, medical history, and criminal or employment history and information which can be used to distinguish or trace an individual’s identity, such as their name, social security numbers, date and place of birth, mother’s maiden name, biometric records, including any other personal information that is linked or linkable to an individual. In some instances, PII overlaps with Privacy Act information. XVII-2 NAP 14.1-C 05-02-08 This page intentionally left blank. NAP 14.1-C XVIII-1 05-02-08 CHAPTER XVIII. PEER-TO-PEER (P2P) NETWORKING 1. INTRODUCTION. Peer-to-peer (P2P) technology, services, and applications are useful but introduce significant risks that must be mitigated to maintain the security of DOE systems and networks. All NNSA Elements must use a risk-based approach when evaluating the possible use of P2P technologies, as well as address the following minimum security requirements. 2. CRITERIA AND PROCESSES. NNSA Elements must develop and implement risk- based policies and procedures that govern the consideration and possible implementation of P2P technologies in accordance with the following security criteria: a. The default condition is that P2P applications, technology, or services are not to be used on DOE systems that contain or process SUI. b.

This chapter establishes the requirements for defining Foreign National Access to NNSA information and the information systems that contain such information. Information systems include, but are not limited to, computers, networks, associated servers, data storage devices, and portable and mobile devices. A process for defining Foreign National Access to NNSA information systems is needed to enforce access restrictions based on Need-to-Know, therefore providing adequate protection to information assets. All NNSA Elements must develop, document, and implement policies pertaining to information system access by Foreign Nationals, as dictated by the following criteria. Further, such policies must be commensurate with the level of security required for the organization’s environment and specific needs. 2. CRITERIA AND PROCESSES. To ensure that Foreign National Access to NNSA information systems is managed appropriately in an effort to reduce the risk of unauthorized access to information assets, each NNSA Element must establish policies and procedures that include the following criteria, at a minimum. a. Roles and responsibilities of personnel involved in approving, implementing, and monitoring Foreign National Access to NNSA information systems. b.

NNSA INTER-SITE NETWORK INTERCONNECTION APPROVAL PROCESS, APPROVAL AUTHORITY, AND CONNECTION REQUIREMENTS 1. INTRODUCTION. The purpose of this NNSA Inter-site Network Interconnection Approval Process and Connection Requirements document is to establish the connection approval process, approval authority, and connection requirements for all of the NNSA inter-site connections, including: (1) “site to Enterprise,” (2) “site to site,” (3) “site to non-NNSA.” 2. OBJECTIVES. a. The objectives are to ensure that: (1) All inter-site connections are compliant with established directives and guidance; meet all technical and interoperability requirements. (2) Operational requirements have been met and validated; sub networks, systems, and other connected components.

Section 57

(3) Sub networks, systems, and other connected components: (a) Provide adequate security. (b) Have been accredited by the proper authority; and connection requirements are established, and site compliance validation visits are performed. (4) Connection requirements are established, and site compliance validation visits are performed. 3. REQUIREMENTS. All inter-site network interconnections must meet the following mandatory requirements for an authority to connect to be granted. a. Authority to Operate (ATO) or Interim Authority to Operate (IATO). Each information system connected to an NNSA site will have been granted an ATO or IATO by the associated Federal DAA. Each NNSA DAA that is responsible for a network interconnection will verify that a current ATO or IATO acceptance letter exists for each network and related systems included and impacted by the interconnection. Where appropriate, the DAA may also choose to review the system ISSP. b. Interconnection Security Agreement. Every NNSA Inter-site network connection that involves networks and systems supported by a different DAA requires an ISA. Each DAA that is responsible for a network interconnection involving an NNSA site will review and sign the ISA, which documents technical security specifications for the interconnection between connecting systems. The ISA must XX-2 NAP 14.1-C 05-02-08 include, or refer to an external document such as the ISSP that includes, the following: c. Interconnection Statement of Requirements. (1) Business requirement for the interconnection as well as a reference to the risk analysis conducted to justify the interconnection. (2) Names of the systems being connected and personnel points of contact for the interconnected systems, including the cognizant DAAs. (3) Reference to MOU associated with ISA. d. System Security Considerations. (1) General Information and Data Description.

NAP 14.1-C XX-3 05-02-08 (7) Telecommunication Channel. A description of the telecommunications channel and requirements surrounding the connection must be outlined, including information about whether the connection traverses a public network and what vendor is supporting the solution. (8) Enclave Protection. Protection mechanisms for each network should be described, to include the implementation of controlled interfaces, firewalls, and Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS). (9) Compliance Deviations. All NNSA deviations from NNSA security requirements will be documented for each network involved in the inter- site network connection. (10) Configuration Management. The responsibilities and processes for mutual management, maintenance, operation, and configuration maintenance for the interconnection must be documented. e. Topological Drawing. A topological drawing must be included that provide the following elements: (1) Defines the system’s boundaries. (2) Includes communications paths, circuits, and other components used for the interconnection. (3) Depicts the logical location of all components, such as firewalls, routers, switches, hubs, servers, encryption devices, and computer workstations, including IP addresses. (4) Depicts all other network connections, including remote access services.

(2) Periodic review requirements. The requirements for periodic review of the agreement must be explicitly stated. The stated review period must be at least annual. (3) Signatures of the applicable DAA for each system and network participating in the interconnection. (4) Memorandum of Understanding. For interconnections that involve two or more DAAs, an MOU must be developed that defines the responsibilities XX-4 NAP 14.1-C 05-02-08 of the participating organizations and individuals. Additionally, the MOU defines the purpose of the interconnection, identifies relevant authorities, specifies the responsibilities of both organizations, and defines the terms of agreement and the timeline for terminating or reauthorizing the interconnection. Each NNSA DAA responsible for a participating system and network connection must review and sign the MOU. Refer to Appendix I for a sample MOU. g. Security. Both parties must agree to abide by the security arrangements specified in the ISA. In addition, state that both parties certify that their respective system is designed, managed, and operated in compliance with all relevant Federal laws, regulations, and policies.

Responsibilities related to disconnection and reconnection must be described.

Section 59

l. Consent to Monitor. Approving authorities for networks that connect to an NNSA network must agree to monitor user activity to ensure official use only of NNSA information systems. m. Consent to Test. Approving authorities for networks that connect to an NNSA network must agree to completion of a remote compliance assessment directed by the NNSA Cyber Security Program Office and/or the NNSA “Red Team” for “site to enterprise” connections and random remote compliance assessment of “site to site” and “site to non-NNSA.” The NNSA Cyber Security Program Office will provide prior notification. n. Account Management. Responsibilities and processes for establishing cross- domain accounts must be documented. o. Controlled Interface. A control interface is used to control information flow based on the information type; to maintain the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information being transmitted; and to provide protection services NAP 14.1-C XX-5 05-02-08 for the interconnected systems. Refer to DOE Cyber Security Technical and Management Requirements for Interconnected Systems Management (TMR-5) for functional requirements of a controlled interface. A controlled interface must be used in the following circumstances. (1) For unclassified information systems with different security impact levels, a controlled interface must be used to adjudicate the differences in security policies and practices. Note that in cases where the security impact levels are equal, each system’s implemented security controls can be relied on to preserve information confidentiality and Need-to-Know. (2) For classified information systems with different protection indices, a controlled interface is required to adjudicate the differences in security policies and practices. Note that in cases where the protection indices are equal, each system’s implemented security controls can be relied on to preserve information confidentiality and Need-to-Know. However, users are responsible for ensuring that the recipient of information has a Need- to-Know to include formal access to any Sigma level for the information. (3) A controlled interface must be used when interconnecting NNSA information systems to other systems outside of DOE, such as the Internet, public switch networks, or DOD systems. p. Review System and Network Accreditations. The introduction of inter-site network connections, including those that affect only one DAA, requires a review of the vulnerabilities and residual risks to the affected NNSA networks and an update to the ISSP. For interconnections that only affect one DAA, all security documentation requirements must be included in the applicable ISSPs for each interconnecting information system. 4. INTER-SITE NETWORK INTERCONNECTION APPROVAL PROCESS. Federal policy requires Federal agencies to establish interconnection agreements. Specifically, OMB Circular A-130, Appendix III, requires agencies to obtain written management authorization before connecting their information technology systems to other systems, based on an acceptable level of risk. The written authorization should define the rules of behavior and security controls that must be maintained for the system interconnection and it should be included in the organization’s system security plan. Because the interconnection may affect the security posture for each involved network and/or system, the process for instituting and maintaining the interconnection is intertwined with the process for maintaining an accreditation for each of the networks individually. The process outlined below defines the general steps necessary to initiate and maintain the interconnectivity. Figure XX-1 illustrates the process flow for approval.

Section 60

a. Define and Review Business Case. A business case must be developed that describes the mission or organizational need for the interconnection. The two affected organizations should work together to assure that the purpose and intent XX-6 NAP 14.1-C 05-02-08 of the interconnection is of mutual benefit and is aligned with their respective mission requirements, After the interconnection has been established, the business case should be reviewed periodically to confirm that the requirements are still valid. b. Verify and Review Existing Systems. NNSA information systems being considered for interconnection must be covered by an existing ISSP and an ATO or IATO. Before interconnection can be formally approved, the ISSP and ATO or IATO must be reviewed to verify completion and the inclusion of necessary controls. If the system being considered for interconnection is in the development phase, the draft ISSP must include or reference the interconnection specifics. c. Develop Formal ISA. The ISA is a security document that specifies the technical and security requirements for establishing, operating, and maintaining the interconnection. It also supports the MOU between the organizations. The ISA documents the requirements for connecting the IT systems, describes the security controls that will be used to protect the systems and data, contains a topological drawing of the interconnection, and provides a signature line. Appendix I is a sample MOU. d. Develop Formal MOU. The MOU details the management agreement and describes the responsibilities between organizations with interconnected information systems. It documents the terms and conditions for sharing data and information resources in a secure manner. Appendix J is a sample ISA. e. Revisit of ATO or IATO for Systems. The establishment of a network interconnection may introduce new vulnerabilities and alter the security posture for systems. Both organizations should update their ISSP and related documents to reflect the changed security environment in which their respective system operates. f. Approve or Reject. The interconnection is approved when both the ISA and MOU have been signed. A formal letter of rejection should be provided by the DAA, if the connection is denied, to indicate the reasons and any additional expectations. NAP 14.1-C XX-7 05-02-08 Figure XX-1.

Information System An information system is a set of information resources organized for the collection, storage, processing, maintenance, use, sharing, dissemination, disposition, display, or transmission of information. The process of uniquely assigning information resources to an information system defines the security accreditation boundary for that system. NNSA elements have flexibility in determining what constitutes an information system (i.e., major application or general support system) and the resulting security accreditation boundary that is associated with that information system. Both major applications and general support systems will be treated as an information system (i.e., “system”) and will undergo the certification and accreditation process described in NAP 14.2-C. Information System Security Plan (ISSP) A formal agreement among the DAA, the ISSM(s), and the system owner(s). It is used throughout the NNSA C&A process to guide actions, and to document decisions, security requirements, certification tailoring and level-of-effort, certification results, ISSM’s certification, and the DAA’s accreditation to operate. Information Technology (IT) The hardware, firmware, and software used as part of the information system to perform information functions. This definition includes computers, telecommunications, automated information systems, and automatic data processing equipment.

Interconnection The direct connection of two or more information systems for the purpose of sharing data and other information resources. A system interconnection has three basic components: two information systems and the communication mechanism by which data is made available, exchanged, or passed one-way only. Each information system maintains its own intra-system services and controls and protects its own resources. Key Resources Publicly or privately controlled resources essential to the minimal operations of the economy and government. Legacy information system An operational information system that existed prior to the implementation of the NNSA C&A process. Major Application A major application is an application that requires special attention to security because of the risk and magnitude of the harm resulting from the loss, misuse, or unauthorized access to or modification of the information in the application. Note: All Federal applications require some level of protection. Certain applications, because of the information in them; however, require special management oversight and should be treated as major. Adequate security for other applications should be provided by security of the systems in which they operate. [From Appendix III, OMB A-130] Mission The assigned duties to be performed by an information system or site. Multi-User System A system, that under normal operations has more than one user accessing it simultaneously. Systems accessed by more than one user sequentially (one user at a time) without undergoing the necessary procedure to remove residual data between users are also considered multi-user systems.

NAP 14.1-C C-1 05-02-08 APPENDIX C: CONTRACTORS REQUIREMENTS DOCUMENT This appendix provides the Contractors Requirements Document (CRD) for the NNSA CSP. 1. INTRODUCTION. This CRD establishes the requirements for National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) contractors and their employees. Regardless of the performer of the work, the contractor is responsible for compliance with the provisions and requirements of this CRD. The contractor is responsible for the flow down of these provisions and requirements to subcontracts at any tier to ensure the contractor’s compliance with these provisions and requirements. The contractor will ensure that it and its subcontractors comply with the provisions and requirements of this CRD. 2. OVERVIEW. All information collected, created, processed, transmitted, stored, or disseminated by, or on behalf of, the NNSA on automated information systems requires some level of protection. The loss or compromise of information entrusted to NNSA contractors may affect the Nation's economic competitive position, the environment, the National security, NNSA missions, or the citizens of the United States. The risk management approach defined in the NNSA CSP provides for the graded, cost-effective protection of automated information systems containing unclassified or classified information. The contractor must systematically integrate cyber security into management and work practices at all levels of the contractor’s organization so that missions are accomplished while appropriately protecting all information on information systems and assign responsibilities for protecting information on information systems for the purpose of maintaining National security and ensuring the continuity of NNSA operations. 3. APPLICABILITY. This CRD applies to all contractors or subcontractors that collect, create, process, transmit, store, or disseminate information for the NNSA. 4. IMPLEMENTATION. A plan for the implementation of this CRD must be completed within 60 days after incorporation of this CRD into the contract. This implementation plan shall not exceed three years from the date of formal approval. Meaning, the NNSA Element’s CSP must comply with all requirements set forth in this NAP. Further, all information systems must be protected in accordance with the requirements set forth in this NAP. The implementation plan must include, at a minimum, the program activity to be modified/created; the starting date of revision/ development; the estimated due date; and the responsible party for the stated activity. 5. REQUIREMENTS. Risk-based approaches and other means must be used to evaluate and verify the effectiveness of cyber security measures, to identify areas requiring improvement, and to validate implemented improvements. a.

NAP 14.1-C E-1 05-02-08 APPENDIX E: FACTORS INFLUENCING INFOCON When determining the appropriate defensive posture, many factors must be considered. This appendix lists several factors that managers should consider when determining the INFOCON. Note that this list is offered as broad guidance; other factors may also be considered. • Other indications and warnings (including domestic threats). NSA IPC Alerts; National Infrastructure Protection Center (NIPC) advisories, threats, warnings; and law enforcement agency intrusion reports. • CNA intelligence assessments. • Current world situation. Increased tensions with a nation possessing CNA capability may precede CNA operations against us. • Other alert systems such as SECON, etc. Managers must determine if a change in one alert status will cause a corresponding change in another alert status. • Dependence of NNSA functions upon particular information systems. This type of analysis may suggest the degree to which a particular network, system, application or database is mission critical. • Manager's assessment of mission-critical information system readiness. This readiness may be determined from the networks’ security posture, vulnerability, extent of compromise, etc.

Section 74

• Manager’s assessment of readiness to coordinate the protection of critical infrastructure and key resources identified under Homeland Security Presidential Directive-7 (HSPD-7), Critical Infrastructure Identification, Prioritization, and Protection • Incident reports. These are roughly analogous to attack assessment. • Trend analyses. Reports showing number, type, and frequency of attacks, systems targeted, and hot IP addresses. • Technical impact assessment. This information may be included in an incident report or may result from follow-on analysis. This assessment may include the extent of system compromise and/or disruption and the degree to which system confidentiality, integrity, availability, and authentication have been affected. • Operational impact assessment. A key element in determining the INFOCON. See Appendix F. The process for assessing operational impact also lays the groundwork for executing preventive measures, developing workarounds, and establishing restoration priorities. • ISSM’s assessment of the potential for an information attack. Although much objective data is available on which to base the decision, the final judgment for declaring an INFOCON change rests with the DAA. Objective assessment of the situation and prudent analysis of all available information must be integrated with the manager’s experience and leadership to determine the organization’s appropriate defensive posture. E-2 NAP 14.1-C 05-02-08 This page intentionally left blank. NAP 14.1-C F-1 05-02-08 APPENDIX F: OPERATIONAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT Assessing the impact of CNE and CNA on our ability to conduct operations is key to conducting damage assessment, prioritizing response actions, and assisting in identifying possible adversaries. This appendix offers an operational impact assessment process that may be used when reporting changes in INFOCON. Note that assessment results are classified SECRET at a minimum. The assessment process itself is unclassified. Prior to an attack: • Identify all critical information systems. • For each critical information system, identify all resident critical applications and databases. • Determine which NNSA functions are supported by each application or database After an attack or attempted attack has been detected: • Identify all critical information systems that are, or appear to be, targeted. • For each information system targeted, determine the technical impact, such as to what degree are confidentiality, integrity, availability, and authentication affected? What critical applications and databases are impacted? • For the technical impacts identified, estimate the time and resources required to restore functionality. Identify any interim workarounds. • Determine how the technical impact of the attack affect the organization's ability to function. • Determine how the impact to the organization's ability to function affect support to current/projected operations? If no specific operations are ongoing or projected, determine how is general capability or readiness affected? F-2 NAP 14.1-C 05-02-08 This page intentionally left blank.

H-4 NAP 14.1-C 05-02-08 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT The Risk Assessment Methodology within NNSA Policy (NAP) 14.1-C was developed by a NNSA Cyber Security Work Group comprised of both Federal and contractor staff and was reviewed by the Designated Approval Authority Council comprised of all Federal staff. The Work Group was chaired by Kimberly Rasar (Deputy Associate CIO for Cyber Security) and members were Miguel Adams, Ernie Crossland, Gus Dahik, Michael Denton, Mark Schaffer, Rex Stratton, and Patricia Valles. The NAP 14.1-C was developed through a process that was informed by input from the NNSA Management and Operating Contractors. The work group was chaired by Sue Flores (Designated Approval Authority, Service Center) and comprised of the NNSA Designated Approval Authority Council. The NAP 14.1-C is approved through the NNSA Directives Process. "I would like to thank these individuals for bringing the Risk Assessment Methodology and the NAP 14.1-C to a high quality and successful completion through their hard work, insights, and innovation." Wayne Jones, Associate CIO for Cyber Security NAP 14.1-C H-5 05-02-08 CHAPTER I. INTRODUCTION 1. PURPOSE. The purpose of the Risk Assessment Methodology (RAM) is to provide the NNSA with a repeatable procedure to conduct information technology risk assessments to use during the information system’s entire life-cycle. The RAM satisfies one element of the entire risk management process by helping to identify and analyze risk. As one part of the overall risk management process, NNSA and NNSA Elements will use the RAM to understand agency threats and threat sources. As suggested by A Classification Scheme for Risk Assessment Methods (Campbell, P. & Jason Stamp, 2004), although risk suggestion can be an art form qualitatively surmised, a documented and repeatable process can help raise the information system’s level of assurance by increasing the system’s performance level, reducing loss, and minimizing risk through building on a framework of risk assessments. Building on a continual risk assessment process will raise an understanding of the threats associated with a system. The results will help satisfy the certification and accreditation (C&A), package risk assessment requirement, IAW NAP 14.2-C, and may be presented as a stand-alone report to the OCIO, CSPM, or local DAA. Furthermore, a repeatable procedure will help satisfy management’s continuous monitoring role and due diligence responsibility. 2. OBJECTIVE. Campbell and Stamp categorize three categories of assessment methods (Campbell 2004): ● The “temporal” method focuses on technological tests used to evaluate the system’s performance under stress ● The “comparative” method compares a procedure against a standard ● The “functional” method balances the approaches of the temporal and comparative methods for a balanced risk assessment method. As part of the information security program of the NNSA, the RAM provides NNSA Elements with a functional framework used to satisfy the risk assessment and help deliver a systematic and repeatable method in producing a risk assessment to the OCIO, CSPM, local DAA, and certification team. The risk assessment method helps to mitigate inherent weaknesses in all of information system products, procedures, and services. In addition, the method will help to provide the NNSA Elements with a historical record of the assumptions reached during the procedure that can increase the risk assessment’s level of assurance during subsequent and review periods.

Section 77

In other words, the process will build on previous knowledge and continually improve through adaptation of historical, current, and future potential risks. H-6 NAP 14.1-C 05-02-08 3. REQUIREMENTS. This process satisfies the requirements set forth in OMB Circular A-130, Appendix III; the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) of 2002, Public Law 107- 347; and the NAP 14.2-C. 3.1 RAM Frequency Risk assessments are part of the system’s life-cycle. C&A policy requires a risk assessment during the process of certifying and accrediting an information technology system, and when reaccrediting a system on a minimum three year schedule. In addition, the risk assessment can help build on the system's threat statement. At a minimum, a risk assessment must be conducted on the information system: ● During the C&A mandated periods, or at the three-year C&A reaccreditation (see note). ● After an incident on or that affected the information or information system ● A raise in the vulnerability awareness, for example, after system penetration tests. ● DAA directed ● CSPM directed ● OCIO directed. The RAM is a dynamic and continually evolving process within the overall NNSA cyber security strategic mission. Note: A re-assessment of the information system's security controls is required on a yearly basis, and the risk assessment includes an assessment of the security controls. Conducting a risk assessment on a yearly basis will fulfill both of these requirements. 3.2 Concept Definitions. This paragraph defines the concepts described in the RAM Guidelines. ● Risk ● Risk assessment ● Threat ● Threat source ● Vulnerability ● Likelihood ● Likelihood determination ● Impact NAP 14.1-C H-7 05-02-08 Notice that, by the definition's very nature, the unknowns of a risk assessment will contain both objective and subjective elements. The risk assessment mitigates a vulnerability to the information system by providing the functional analysis needed to conduct a risk assessment. Risk — Risk is a function of the likelihood of a given threat source’s exercising a particular potential vulnerability, and the resulting impact of that adverse event on the organization. During the risk assessment process, several independent and unknown factors will determine risks inherent in all systems, process, and procedures. These factors include: ● Likelihood that a threat will occur to the information system ● Likelihood that a threat will result in an adverse impact to the information system ● Severity in an actual attack to the information system ● Threat source of the attack ● Vulnerability of the attack. Risk Assessment — Risk assessment is the process of characterizing the system; identifying threats and vulnerabilities to the system; determining the likelihood, impact, and risk determination to the system; recommending controls or countermeasures against the vulnerabilities, and documenting the results to fulfill the requirements in 14.2-C, and OMB Circular A-130. Threat — A threat is the possibility, or probability, that a threat source will exploit a particular vulnerability, or weakness, of a given asset. A threat cannot exploit an asset if there is not weakness. Unfortunately, weaknesses exist in most, if not all of our assets, and careful consideration is required in this analysis, or risk jeopardizing the analysis by overwhelming the security features. An overwhelmed analysis will only confuse the assessment, serving no purpose, however, a careful and concise study of the threat sources entrance (boundary) and motivation will serve the enterprise well.

Section 78

Threat Source — The threat agent that has the potential of exploiting a vulnerability or weakness in the system. Threat sources can be human events (intentional or unintentional), natural events (for example, hurricane, tornado, flooding), or environmental events (weak building structure, or heating, ventilation, or air conditioning). Vulnerability — A flaw or weakness in system security procedures, design, implementation, or internal controls that could be exercised (intentional or unintentional) and result in a security breach or a violation of the system’s security policy. H-8 NAP 14.1-C 05-02-08 Likelihood — The possibility (High, Moderate, or Low) that a threat source will succeed in breaching vulnerability (weakness). Likelihood Determination — Consideration of the threat sources’ motivation and capability of exploiting vulnerability, the nature of the vulnerability, the existence of security controls, and the effectiveness of mitigating security controls. Impact — The effect of the successful breach in the system and/or information, confidentiality, integrity, availability, or non-repudiation. 4. APPENDICES There are four appendixes to this document. These include the following: 1. Appendix A lists the acronyms used in this document. 2. Appendix B provides a sample questionnaire form. 3. Appendix C provides sample interview questions. 4. Appendix D lists the references used in this document. NAP 14.1-C H-9 05-02-08 CHAPTER II. RISK ASSESSMENT PROCESS A risk assessment is the first process in the risk management methodology. Organizations use risk assessment to determine the extent of the potential threat and the risk associated with a system throughout its System Development Life Cycle (SDLC). The output of this process helps to identify appropriate controls for reducing or eliminating risk during the risk mitigation process. To determine the likelihood of a future adverse event, threats to a system must be analyzed in conjunction with the potential vulnerabilities and the controls in place for the system. Impact refers to the magnitude of harm that could be caused by a threat’s exercise of a vulnerability. The level of impact is governed by the potential mission impacts and in turn produces a relative value for the assets and resources affected (for example, the criticality and sensitivity of the system components and data). The risk assessment methodology encompasses nine primary steps. These steps are consistent with the Risk Assessment steps described in NIST SP 800-30, Risk Management Guide for Information Technology Systems. Notice that, in several instances, step names differ; where there is a name difference, the NIST step is displayed in brackets. Table 1 lists the nine steps are discussed in the sections below: Table 1. Risk Assessment Steps Step Topic 1 System Characterization 2 Threat Analysis [Threat Identification] 3 Vulnerability Identification 4 Analysis of Protection Measures [Controls Analysis] 5 Likelihood Determination 6 Impact Analysis 7 Risk Determination 8 Protection Requirement Recommendations [Control Recommendations] 9 Results Documentation Steps 2, 3, 4, and 6 can be conducted in parallel after Step 1 has been completed. H-10 NAP 14.1-C 05-02-08

Section 79

2.1 System Characterization. Step 1 in the RAM process is Build an asset-based threat profile of the system. For the purposes of the RAM, the system is a combination of hardware, software, people, contract vehicles, policies, interfaces, and information. The system may or may not be networked to other information systems, it may be a standalone personal computer, a personal electronic device (PED), or the system may be an enterprise network with server and client relationships. Regardless, the system’s function is to processes NNSA information or NNSA-related information that requires protection. This section describes the system-related information used to characterize a system and its operational environment. Several information-gathering techniques that may solicit information relevant to the system’s processing environment are provided. The methodology described in this document can be applied to assessments of single, multiple, or interrelated systems. In the latter case, it is important that the domain of interest and all interfaces and dependencies be well defined prior to applying the methodology. System-Related Information Identifying risk for a system requires a keen understanding of its assets. Step 1 in the process describes the collection of system-related information. The step aligns assets to current security practices, begins to identify potential vulnerabilities, and prioritizes critical assets. The threat profile gathers system information by collecting knowledge of the system. Use the following steps to gather information relating to the system: 1. Step 1.a: Build an asset-based profile 2. Step 1.b: Identify current security practices 3. Step 1.c: Identify current organizational and system vulnerabilities (weaknesses) 4. Step 1.d: Identify and prioritizing critical assets Step 1a: Build an asset-based profile A comprehensive protect and defend philosophy requires a full accounting of all the assets within the system. The RAM process is designed to build threat scenarios based on system assets, and this collection of system assets can help satisfy the NNSA C&A risk assessment requirement in 14.2-C. The asset descriptions below describe typical assets found in a system. The list does not impose additional requirements under the C&A policy, but it used to describe the complexity in defining assets that may pose a risk to the information system. NAP 14.1-C H-11 05-02-08 This list is not comprehensive. Typical system assets include: ● Likelihood that a threat will occur to the information system ● People—information system users, maintainers, operators, support personnel ● Data and information—classified or unclassified data process by the system ● Automated or manual procedures and/or system support processes - work instructions, manuals, standard operating procedures ● Software—self explanatory ● Hardware—information technology and networking components ● Policies, standards, or procedures—auditing policies/procedures, account creation, hiring practices, or termination procedures ● Information technology standards or protocols—TCP/IP, FTP, SMTP, H.323 ● System interfaces—interconnected systems outside of C&A boundary ● Contract support vehicles—memorandums of understanding, service level agreements, and off-site contract support vehicles ● Physical environment—server room, HVAC, doors and alarms, and fire extinguishers

Section 80

● Logical environment—domains, enclaves, access control methods Step 1.b: Identify current security practices Build a list of current security practices against the asset. Note that security practices differ from current security policies. Practices account for how something is done. Policies may direct how something is to be done. Step 1.c: Identify current organizational and system vulnerabilities (weaknesses) With knowledge of current security practices, list the potential weakness against current practices, or list what the organization could do better. This step is not a comprehensive security, testing, and evaluation (ST&E). It is a reasonable analysis of the vulnerabilities presented based on the organization’s current security practices against the asset. For example, suppose the firewall access control change procedures were unstipulated and allowed unvetted changes to the system. The vulnerability or weakness presented in the change management process could easily open a vulnerable port. ST&E testing is in paragraph 2.3, Vulnerability Identification (Step 3) of the RAM process. H-12 NAP 14.1-C 05-02-08 Step 1.d: Identify and prioritize critical assets Map and prioritize critical assets to determine what the organization’s priorities based on asset protection and influence to the information’s security requirements. This priority order only helps to identify the organization’s critical assets. Table 2 provides a guide to the sample outcome derived from Steps 1.a through 1.d previously described. The priorities are listed in descending order, with 1 being the highest priority. Table 2. Asset Evaluation Table Asset Priority Asset Description Current Security Practice Vulnerability Description Entry control Tailgating possible HVAC No gauges or lack of accuracy 4 Servers Warranty Expires in one year System Administrators Root access is controlled by one person log on Configuration management Baseline open to modification 2 Software (operating system) License None Roles and responsibilities No acknowledgement forms FISMA training Not 100% accountable Policy adherence No metric Termination procedures None 1 People Incident reporting Not tested Authorized ports and protocols No change control 3 Firewall Authorized administrators Not updated Note: The information contained in this table is for illustration purposes only. NAP 14.1-C H-13 05-02-08 Information-Gathering Techniques This topic describes the information gathering techniques used in identifying current security practices. During the identification and building of an asset profile (Steps 1.a through 1.d), the following information-gathering techniques should be employed: Questionnaires. To collect relevant information, risk assessment personnel can develop a questionnaire concerning the management and operational controls planned or used for the system. This questionnaire should be distributed to the applicable technical and nontechnical management personnel who are designing or supporting the system. The questionnaire could also be used during on-site visits and interviews. Appendix B provides sample questionnaire forms used in risk assessments.

Section 81

On-site Interviews. Interviews with system support and management personnel can enable risk assessment personnel to collect useful information about the system (for example, how the system is operated and managed). On-site visits also allow risk assessment personnel to observe and gather information about the physical, environmental, and operational security of the system. Appendix C contains sample interview questions asked during interviews with site personnel to achieve a better understanding of the operational characteristics of an organization. For systems still in the design phase, the on-site visit would be face-to-face data gathering exercises, and could provide the opportunity to evaluate the physical environment in which the system will operate. Use of Automated Scanning Tool. Proactive technical methods can be used to collect system information efficiently. For example, a network mapping tool can identify the services that run on a large group of hosts and provide a quick way of building individual profiles of the target systems. Information gathering can be conducted throughout the risk assessment process, from Step 1, (System Characterization) through Step 9 (Results Documentation). 2.2 Threat Analysis [Threat Identification] From the list of identified assets in Step 1, Step 2 identifies potential threats to the assets. This process will help in producing a specific threat statement for the information system. It begins to formalize the critical thinking of threats to individual assets based on threat source, threat introduction or boundary, threat source motivation, effect to security requirement (confidentiality, availability, and integrity), and impact level should the threat occur. Categorizing potential threats to the assets, regardless of probability, will help to analyze all possibilities. Step 5 determines likelihood of the attack. H-14 NAP 14.1-C 05-02-08 Figure 1 provides an overview of the entire process in the Threat Identification (Step 2) step. Figure 1. Asset Analysis Figure 1 is a Risk Assessment Worksheet that should help the team to identify potential threat sources and impacts to the assets. It is important that these worksheets be retained as a historical document to help determine the rationale for the specific threats and to help with future iterations of the RAM. Building on this information is vital to the entire RAM process. NAP 14.1-C H-15 05-02-08 Figure 2.

The empty box represents the asset (for example, firewall, server, user, and so forth). Threat Sources — Threats use threat sources as its vehicle to move through the vulnerability, reaching the asset. Categorizations of threat sources include manmade, natural, and environmental. Man-made threat sources, as the name implies, come from people. They can be malicious, intentional, or unintentional. They can be internal to the organization, or external of the organization. External threat sources receive most of the attention, and get many of resources allocated for defending the network, at the risk of forgetting that internal threat sources are many times more threatening than external threat sources. The network's Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) and Intrusion Detection System (IDS) are examples of highly expensive resources allocated toward protecting the network's borders. There are teams dedicated to monitor these devices, reporting their activity to management, and ensuring that their configuration is tightly controlled. These procedures are in place to protect the network; however, few allocated resources measure the standard workstation configuration and report non-compliance, increasing the vulnerability of the entire network. Natural threat sources include fires, floods, hurricanes, or tornadoes. Prominent natural threat sources for the area includes hurricanes, windstorms, snowstorms, iced power lines, or hazardous road conditions due to icing and heavy rain downpours. Natural threat sources may not directly harm the availability of an asset by causing a power outage, but they can prevent essential personnel from arriving at a given location due to hazardous conditions. Threat Source Identification (See Table 2-3) is the process of identifying the potential threat sources to the assets to help compile the threat statement that lists the potential threat sources capable of affecting the system. Common threat sources can be natural, human, or environmental (See Table 2.). In assessing threat sources, it is important to consider all potential threat sources that could cause harm to a system and its processing environment. For example, although the threat statement for a system located in a desert may not include “natural flood” because of the low likelihood of such an event’s occurring, environmental threats such as a bursting pipe can quickly flood a computer room and cause damage to an organization’s assets and resources. Humans can be threat sources through intentional acts, such as deliberate attacks by malicious persons or disgruntled employees, or unintentional acts, such as negligence and errors. A deliberate attack can be one of the following:

Section 83

● A malicious attempt to gain unauthorized access to a system (for example, by guessing passwords) in order to compromise system and data integrity, availability, or confidentiality (One example of this latter type of deliberate attack is a programmer’s writing a Trojan horse program to bypass system security.) NAP 14.1-C H-17 05-02-08 ● A benign, but nonetheless purposeful, attempt to circumvent system security in order to “get the job done.” Boundary — Boundaries describe how the threat source is approaching the asset. With the exception of natural disasters, boundaries can be internal (inside), external (outside), or both. Natural disasters will always be external. Threat Source Boundaries — A threat source must operate through a boundary, or medium, in relation to the enterprise. The threat source has two possible mediums for attack; they can be internal (inside) to the enterprise, or external (outside) to the enterprise. Inside Boundary — Characterized as within the enterprise, an inside boundary's medium typically does not cross the demilitarized zone (DMZ) or other layers of defense used to protect the trusted information system. The internal boundary includes any of the security domains established within the overall boundary of the information system. For example, a malcontent wanting to harm to the information system while using an approved workstation is an example of an internal threat source. Internal threat sources, intentional or unintentional, are the biggest threat to the system. Outside Boundary — Characterized as outside entity from the enterprise, an external boundary's medium typically penetrates the boundaries of the information system through the DMZ or bypasses the layers of defense protecting the information system. For example, an authorized user accesses an untrusted Web site, executing an infected ActiveX component onto the user's workstation, bypassing and penetrating the normal defenses of the information system. Table 3 provides examples of inside and outside threat sources. Table 3. Inside and Outside Threat Sources Threat Type Threat Source Inside Threats Data corruption Elevated user privileges Unauthorized software downloading No data back-up Loss of power Disgruntled employee Outside Threats Malicious coding Password sniffing Downloading of spyware Data destruction Natural Disasters (hurricanes, flooding) Terrorists acts NAP 14.1-C H-17 05-02-08 e A benign, but nonetheless purposeful, attempt to circumvent system security in order to “get the job done.” Boundary — Boundaries describe how the threat source is approaching the asset. With the exception of natural disasters, boundaries can be internal (inside), external (outside), or both. Natural disasters will always be external. Threat Source Boundaries — A threat source must operate through a boundary, or medium, in relation to the enterprise. The threat source has two possible mediums for attack; they can be internal (inside) to the enterprise, or external (outside) to the enterprise. Inside Boundary — Characterized as within the enterprise, an inside boundary's medium typically does not cross the demilitarized zone (DMZ) or other layers of defense used to protect the trusted information system.

For example, a malcontent wanting to harm to the information system while using an approved workstation is an example of an internal threat source. Internal threat sources, intentional or unintentional, are the biggest threat to the system.

Section 84

Outside Boundary — Characterized as outside entity from the enterprise, an external boundary's medium typically penetrates the boundaries of the information system through the DMZ or bypasses the layers of defense protecting the information system. For example, an authorized user accesses an untrusted Web site, executing an infected ActiveX component onto the user's workstation, bypassing and penetrating the normal defenses of the information system. Table 3 provides examples of inside and outside threat sources. Table 3. Inside and Outside Threat Sources Threat Type Threat Source Inside Threats ™ Data corruption ™ Elevated user privileges ™ Unauthorized software downloading ™ No data back-up ™ Loss of power ™ Disgruntled employee Outside Threats ™ Malicious coding ™ Password sniffing ™ Downloading of spyware ™ Data destruction ™ Natural Disasters (hurricanes, flooding) ™ Terrorists acts H-18 NAP 14.1-C 05-02-08 Motivation — Motivation describes the intention or the threat sources’ action – intentional or unintentional. It says why the threat source is acting. Understanding motivation helps to target the control or countermeasure, and thereby help reduce cost and increase the control’s effectiveness. The below scenarios provide an example of the effectiveness of targeted controls. Scenario #1: Daily IDS reports identify a particular user downloading unauthorized software, and the motivation behind the threat source's action is unintentional. The user had no knowledge that he or she was downloading a particular malicious code during routine, and authorized, Web surfing. Action: This scenario indicates that the person had no knowledge of the malicious downloading (unintentional motivation). A targeted investigation of the problem identified two factors: The Web site, although authorized by security policy, used ActiveX to download and execute code onto the user's workstation. This action sets off the IDS alarms, filing the daily reports. The user's browser configuration incorrectly allowed the downloading of ActiveX controls from an untrusted Web site. A targeted approach in implementing controls for scenario1 correctly identified two controls needed to prevent future incidents from occurring within the enterprise: Block port 80 at the firewall, the Web site can no longer download ActiveX controls to any workstation in the enterprise. A security policy review indicates that the browser's security setting was miss- configured, which allowed the downloading of ActiveX controls from untrusted Web sites. Changing this policy prevented future downloads of potentially malicious code through Active X; although, other dependencies still remain. In Scenario #1, approach 1 – blocking port 80 – is the most secure with the greatest impact to user functionality. Approach 2 is less secure with greatest functionality. A detailed analysis could also indicate that user training would help decrease the likelihood of attack. A detailed approach is almost always needed, keeping in mind that simplicity is always best. Scenario #2: a few days latter, the same user continues to trigger similar incidents of downloading unauthorized software. Pronounced intentional by system auditing and evidence of the same aggravated behavior, controls measures now target administrative measures, like suspending the user's Internet access or taking the matter up with management.

Section 85

In both scenarios above, identifying the motivation behind the threat sources action helped increase the control's effectiveness and reduce the cost associated with the control. It would not have been productive to suspend the user's Internet access when the motivation was unintentional. Conversely, continued training to an intentional and harmful action will not stop future occurrences. Motivation and the resources for carrying out an attack make humans potentially dangerous threat sources. Table 4 presents an overview of many of today’s common human threats, their NAP 14.1-C H-19 05-02-08 possible motivations, and the methods or threat actions by which they might carry out an attack. This information will be useful to organizations studying their human threat environments and customizing their human threat statements. In addition, reviews of the history of system break- ins; security violation reports; incident reports; and interviews with the system administrators, help desk personnel, and user community during information gathering will help identify human threat sources that have the potential to harm a system and its data that may be a concern where a vulnerability exists. Defining these qualities lead to the remediation or mitigation strategies necessary to reduce the vulnerabilities associated with the potential threats used to launch a successful attack on the information system. With remediation and mitigation procedures exhausted through a systematic review of the findings, and of application of the NAP 14.2-C security controls, the DAA accepts the level of risk by being presented a C&A package by signing an Authority to Operate (ATO) or Interim Authority to Operated (IATO) for the information system. An analysis of the motivation, resources, and capabilities that may be required to carry out a successful attack should be developed after the potential threat sources have been identified, in order to determine the likelihood of a threat’s exercising a system vulnerability, as described in The Likelihood Determinations section. Table 4 identifies and describes these potential human treat sources, motivations, threat sources, and threat actions. H-20 NAP 14.1-C 05-02-08 Table 4.

Section 86

The threat statement, or the list of potential threat sources, should be tailored to the individual organization and its processing environment (for example, end-user computing habits). In general, information on natural threats (for example, floods, earthquakes, storms) should be readily available. Known threats have been identified by many government and private sector organizations. Intrusion detection tools also are becoming more prevalent, and government and industry organizations continually collect data on security events, thereby improving the ability to realistically assess threats.

NAP 14.1-C H-21 05-02-08 Sources of information include, but are not limited to, the following: ● Intelligence agencies (for example, the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s National Infrastructure Protection Center, at the DHS. ● United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT) ● Mass media, particularly Web-based resources such as SecurityFocus.com ● SecurityWatch.com, SecurityPortal.com, and SANS.org 2.3 Vulnerability Identification Step 3 is the identification and analysis of the vulnerabilities associated with the system environment, in keeping with an asset-based threat assessment. The goal of this step is to develop a list of asset-based vulnerabilities (flaws or weaknesses) that could be exploited by the potential threat sources. Table 5 presents examples of vulnerability/threat pairs. Table 5. Vulnerability/Threat Pairs Vulnerability Threat Source Threat Action Terminate employees’ system identities (ID) are not removed from the system Terminated employees Dialing into the network and accessing proprietary data Firewall allows inbound telnet and guest ID is enabled on XYZ server Unauthorized users (hackers, terminated employees, computer criminals, terrorists)

It should be noted that the types of vulnerabilities that will exist, and the methodology needed to determine whether the vulnerabilities are present, will usually vary depending on the nature of the system and the phase it is in, in the SDLC: ● If the system has not yet been designed, the search for vulnerabilities should focus on the organization’s security policies, planned security procedures, system requirement definitions, and the vendors’ or developers’ security product analyses (for example, white papers). If the system is being implemented, the identification of vulnerabilities should be expanded to include more specific information, such as the planned security features described in the security design documentation and the results of system certification test and evaluation. H-22 NAP 14.1-C 05-02-08 ● If the system is operational, the process of identifying vulnerabilities should include an analysis of the system security features and the security controls, technical and procedural, used to protect the system. Conduct vulnerability identification through the use of tools (that is, questionnaires, interviews, worksheets, and so forth). The uses of automated vulnerability assessment engines are also apportioned against the technology. This is discussed in the system test and evaluation (STE) process (NAP 14.2-C.) Step 3.a: Map the enterprise A network topology map is crucial to understanding the protection measures needed. This diagram should include critical infrastructure components, such as firewalls, IDSs, routers, switches, servers, host workstations, remote access components, storage devices, and laptops, and so forth Step 3.b. Determine asset to tool mapping evaluation approach. The purpose of this step is to determine potential vulnerabilities in design, implementation, or configuration of the critical assets identified in the previous steps. Design vulnerabilities are inherent in the product. Example: A software’s control against overloading is undetermined Implementation vulnerabilities results when execution errors exist with the product. Alarms in an intrusion detection system (IDS) go unanswered, for example. Configuration vulnerabilities results when design or administrative errors occur. NAP 14.1-C H-23 05-02-08 Table 6 below depicts an example of the output of the assets and tool mapping results. In addition, NAP 14.2-C will assist in determining checklist creation and determination. Table 6.

Step 3.c. Categorize vulnerabilities depicted in the automated tool against the requirement Automated tools will depict open, closed, unknown ports, or other vulnerabilities against the product. A categorization of the requirement (for example, SP 800-53 Revision 1 security control or other requirement) apportions the vulnerability to the products. See Table 7. Table 7. Asset-based Threat Table Asset Windows Server 2003 Vulnerability Latest hot fixes are not applied NAP 14.2-C Control SI-1 Protection Measure Apply applicable hot fixes Note: The information contained in this table is for illustration purposes only. Vulnerability Sources The technical and nontechnical vulnerabilities associated with a system’s processing environment can be identified by analyzing the information-gathering techniques A review of other industry sources (for example, vendor Web pages that identify system bugs and flaws) will be useful in preparing for the interviews and in developing effective questionnaires to identify vulnerabilities that may be applicable to specific systems (for example, a specific version of a specific operating system). H-24 NAP 14.1-C 05-02-08 Documented vulnerability sources that should be considered in a thorough vulnerability analysis include, but are not limited to, the following: ● Previous risk assessment documentation of the system assessed. ● The system’s audit reports, system anomaly reports, security review reports, and system test and evaluation reports. ● Vulnerability lists, such as the NIST I-CAT vulnerability database (http://icat.nist.gov). ● Security advisories, such as US-CERT and the Department of Energy’s Computer Incident Advisory Capability bulletins. ● Vendor advisories. ● Commercial computer incident/emergency response teams and post lists (for example, SecurityFocus.com forum mailings). ● Computer Emergency Response Team (http://www.cert.org) ● Security Bulletins, Vulnerability Notes, or US-CERT Technical Alerts in the United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT) <http://www.us-cert.gov) ● Common Vulnerabilities and Exposure List (http://www.cve.mitre.org) ● System software security analyses System Security Testing Proactive methods, employing system testing, can be used to identify system vulnerabilities efficiently, depending on the criticality of the system and available resources (for example, allocated funds, available technology, persons with the expertise to conduct the test). Test methods include: ● Automated vulnerability scanning tool ● ST&E ● Penetration testing The automated vulnerability scanning tool is used to scan a group of hosts or a network for known vulnerable services (for example, system allows anonymous File Transfer Protocol [FTP], send mail relaying). However, it should be noted that some of the potential vulnerabilities identified by the automated scanning tool may not represent real vulnerabilities in the context of the system environment. For example, some of these scanning tools rate potential vulnerabilities without considering the site’s environment and requirements. Some of the “vulnerabilities” flagged by the automated scanning software may actually not be vulnerable for a particular site but may be configured that way because their environment requires it. Thus, this test method may produce false positives.

Section 89

ST&E is another technique that can be used in identifying system vulnerabilities during the risk assessment process. It includes the development and execution of a test plan (for example, test script, test procedures, and expected test results). The purpose of system security testing is to http://icat.nist.gov/ http://www.cert.org/ http://www.cve.mitre.org/ NAP 14.1-C H-25 05-02-08 test the effectiveness of the security controls of a system as they have been applied in an operational environment. The objective is to ensure that the applied controls meet the approved security specification for the software and hardware and implement the organization’s security policy or meet industry standards. Penetration testing can be used to complement the review of security controls and ensure that different facets of the system are secured. Automated scanning tools may also be employed. Penetration testing, when employed in the risk assessment process, can be used to assess a system’s ability to withstand intentional attempts to circumvent system security. Its objective is to test the system from the viewpoint of a threat source and to identify potential failures in the system protection schemes. The results of these types of optional security testing will help identify a system’s vulnerabilities. Development of Security Requirements Checklist During this step, the risk assessment personnel determine whether the security requirements stipulated for the system and collected during system characterization are being met by existing or planned security controls. Typically, the system security requirements can be presented in table form, with each requirement accompanied by an explanation of how the system’s design or implementation does or does not satisfy that security control requirement. A security requirements checklist contains the basic security standards that can be used to systematically evaluate and identify the vulnerabilities of the assets (personnel, hardware, software, and information), nonautomated procedures, processes, and information transfers associated with a given system in the following security areas: ● Management ● Operational ● Technical Table 8 lists security criteria suggested for use in identifying a system’s Vulnerabilities in each security area.

Sources that can be used in compiling such a checklist include, but are not limited to, the following government regulatory and security directives and sources applicable to the system processing environment: ● Computer Security Act (CSA) of 1987 ● Federal Information Processing Standards Publications ● Federal Information Security Management Act of 2002 (FISMA). ● Privacy Act of 1974 ● System security plan of the system assessed ● The organization’s security policies, guidelines, and standards ● Industry practices. The control objectives are abstracted directly from long-standing requirements found in statute, policy, and guidance on security and privacy. The results of the checklist (or questionnaire) can be used as input for an evaluation of compliance and noncompliance. This process identifies system, process, and procedural weaknesses that represent potential vulnerabilities. 2.4 Analysis of Protection Measures [Controls Analysis] The goal of Step 4 is to analyze the controls that have been implemented, or are planned for implementation, by the organization, to minimize or eliminate the likelihood (or probability) of a threat exploiting a system vulnerability. See Table 9. H-28 NAP 14.1-C 05-02-08 Table 9. Control Vulnerabilities by Category Category Vulnerability Asset Access Control Audit and Accountability Awareness and Training Certification, Accreditation, and Security Assessments Configuration Management Contingency Planning Identification and Authentication Incident Response Maintenance Media Protection Physical & Environmental Protection Planning Personnel Security Risk Assessment System and Service Acquisition System and Communications Protection System and Information Integrity To derive an overall likelihood rating that indicates the probability that a potential vulnerability may be exercised within the construct of the associated threat environment (Step 5 below), the implementation of current or planned controls must be considered. For example, a vulnerability is not likely to be exercised or the likelihood is low if there is a low level of threat source interest or capability or if there are effective security controls that can eliminate, or reduce the magnitude of, harm.

Section 91

Control Methods Security controls are categorized into technical and nontechnical methods. Technical controls are safeguards that are incorporated into computer hardware, software, or firmware (for example, access control mechanisms, identification and authentication mechanisms, encryption methods, NAP 14.1-C H-29 05-02-08 intrusion detection software). Nontechnical controls are management and operational controls, such as security policies; operational procedures; and personnel, physical, and environmental security. Control Categories The control categories for both technical and nontechnical control methods can be further classified as either preventive or detective. These two subcategories are explained as follows: ● Preventive controls inhibit attempts to violate security policy and include such controls as access control enforcement, encryption, and authentication. ● Detective controls warn of violations or attempted violations of security policy and include such controls as audit trails, intrusion detection methods, and checksums. The implementation of such controls during the risk mitigation process is the direct result of the identification of deficiencies in current or planned controls during the risk assessment process (for example, controls are not in place or controls are not properly implemented). Control Analysis Technique As discussed above, development of a security requirements checklist or use of an available checklist will be helpful in analyzing controls in an efficient and systematic manner. The security requirements checklist can be used to validate security noncompliance as well as compliance. Therefore, it is essential to update such checklists to reflect changes in an organization’s control environment (for example, changes in security policies, methods, and requirements) to ensure the checklist’s validity. The result of the control analysis is presented in Step 5 below. 2.5 Likelihood Determination Step 5 is designed to derive an overall likelihood rating that indicates the probability that a potential vulnerability may be exercised within the construct of the associated threat environment. The following governing factors must be considered: ● Threat source motivation and capability ● Nature of the vulnerability ● Existence and effectiveness of current controls The likelihood that a potential vulnerability could be exercised by a given threat source can be described as high, medium, or low. Table 10 on the following page describes vulnerabilities by grouped protection measures. H-30 NAP 14.1-C 05-02-08 Table 10. Vulnerabilities by Grouped Protection Measures Group Measures Asset Type Vulnerability Description NAP 14.2-C Control Protection Measure Likelihood Level Server Guest account open AC-2 Disable Guest Account High Access control Workstation Regular system users have elevated privileged accounts AC-6 Ensure principle of least privilege remains throughout all processes High System and communication protection Web site Connections to high-impact security domains exists without monitoring SC-7 Begin audit controls and regular Website monitoring High Note: The information contained in this table is for illustration purposes only. Table 11 lists the SP 800-30-defined likelihood levels. Table 11. Likelihood Definitions

Section 92

Likelihood Rating Likelihood Definition High The threat source is highly motivated and sufficiently capable, and controls are ineffective to prevent the vulnerability from being exercised. Moderate The threat source is motivated and capable, but controls are in place that may impede successful exercise of the vulnerability. Low The threat source lacks motivation or capability, or controls are in place to prevent, or at least significantly impede, the vulnerability from being exercised. 2.6 Impact Analysis (14.2-C) Because the potential impact levels for the confidentiality, integrity, and availability, security objectives may not be identical for an information system. Step 6 uses the high water mark concept to determine the impact level of the information system. Thus, a low-impact system is NAP 14.1-C H-31 05-02-08 defined as an information system in which all three of the security objectives are low. A moderate-impact system is an information system in which at least one of the security objectives is moderate and no security objective is high. And finally, a high-impact system is an information system in which at least one security objective is high. Once the overall impact level of the information system is determined, the minimum set of security control can be selected from the baseline controls. The certification team must use the methodology defined below for determining the system categorization (that is, Protection Index) based on the information system boundary, identification of information group(s), and Consequence of Loss for Confidentiality. National security information is grouped (information group) based on sensitivity (classification level, category, and need-to-know). The following paragraph describes the information groups in increasing order of sensitivity (Top Secret Restricted Data considered the most sensitive). National Security Systems must be categorized based on the most sensitive information group they contain and the impact/Consequences of Loss (CoL) if the confidentiality, integrity and/or availability of the information is lost. The impact is determined through a CoL concept that ranks the perceived value of each information group in terms of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Consequences of Loss – Classified Information The tables in this section describe the criteria used to determine the CoL to confidentiality, integrity, and availability for all classified information. Table 12. Consequences of Loss of Confidentiality Consequence of Loss Confidentiality Description High Unauthorized, premature, or partial disclosure may have a grave effect on National security, Senior DOE Management, DOE, or National interests. Moderate Serious damage to National security will result if confidentiality is lost; Information requiring protection mandated by policy, laws, or agreements between DOE, its contractors, and other entities, such as commercial organizations or foreign Governments; Information designated as mission-essential; or Unauthorized, premature, or partial disclosure may have an adverse effect on site-level interests. Low Damage to National Security will result if confidentiality is lost; Information designated as sensitive by the data owner; or unauthorized, premature, or partial disclosure may have an adverse effect on organizational interests. H-32 NAP 14.1-C 05-02-08

Section 93

Table 13. Consequences of Loss of Integrity Consequence of Loss Integrity Description High Loss of integrity will have a serious effect on National-level interests or Loss of integrity will have a serious effect on confidentiality. Moderate A degree of integrity required for mission accomplishment, but not absolute; Bodily injury might result from loss of integrity; or Loss of integrity will have an adverse effect on organizational-level interests. Low Loss of integrity impacts only the missions of site- or office-level organization. Table 14. Consequences of Loss of Availability Consequence of Loss Availability Description High Loss of life might result from loss of availability; Information must always be available upon request, with no tolerance for delay; Loss of availability will have an adverse effect on National-level interests; Federal requirement (that is, requirement for Material Control and Accountability (MC&A) inventory); or Loss of availability will have an adverse effect on confidentiality. Moderate Information must be readily available with minimum tolerance for delay; Bodily injury might result from loss of availability; or Loss of availability will have an adverse effect on organizational-level interests. Low Information must be available with flexible tolerance for delay. Note: In this context, “High – no tolerance for delay” means no delay;” “Moderate – minimum tolerance for delay" means a delay of seconds to hours;” and “Low – flexible tolerance for delay” means a delay of days to weeks Table 15 provides the results of the evaluation of impact of loss for each National Security information group and represents the minimum Consequences of Lost (CoL) of value for each information group. NAP 14.1-C H-33 05-02-08 Table 15. Consequences of Loss of Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability Information Group Loss of Confidentiality Loss of Integrity Loss of Availability Confidential and Secret Information* Moderate Low Low Secret** and Top Secret Information High Low Low * Includes SRD, Sigmas 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 15 ** includes SRD, Sigmas 14 and 20 1 Sigmas 6, 7, and 8 are not currently in use. Note: the levels in this table are the minimum values allowed by NNSA. Senior NNSA management or the operating unit may assign a higher level of consequence for any or all of the information groups. The output of this step is displayed in Step 7. 2.7 Risk Determination The purpose of Step 7 is to assess the level of risk to the system. The determination of risk for a particular threat/vulnerability pair can be expressed as a function of: ● The likelihood of a given threat source’s attempting to exercise a given vulnerability. ● The magnitude of the impact should a threat source successfully exercise vulnerability. ● The adequacy of planned or existing security controls for reducing or eliminating risk. To measure risk, a risk scale and a risk-level matrix must be developed. The following page provides a standard risk-level matrix, and describes the resulting risk levels. H-34 NAP 14.1-C 05-02-08 Risk-Level Matrix

Section 94

The final determination of mission risk is derived by multiplying the ratings assigned for threat likelihood (for example, probability) and threat impact. Table 16 shows how the overall risk ratings might be determined based on inputs from the threat likelihood and threat impact categories. This matrix below a 3 x 3 matrix of threat likelihood (High, Medium, and Low), and threat impact (High, Medium, and Low). Depending on the site’s requirements and the granularity of risk assessment desired, some sites may use a 4 x 4 or a 5 x 5 matrix. The latter can include a Very Low or Very High threat likelihood and a Very Low or Very High threat impact to generate a Very Low or Very High risk level. A Very High risk level may require possible system shutdown or stopping of all system integration and testing efforts. The risk determination process uses the likelihood and impact assessments performed in the previous two steps and attempts to assign a determination factor. The determination factor uses a weighted high, medium, and low categorization (defined below), and attempts to assign a quantitative measurement to the level of risk based on a predetermined formula. The sample matrix in Table 16 shows how the overall risk levels of High, Medium, and Low are derived. Table 16. Risk-Level Matrix Threat Impact (Step 6) Threat Likelihood (Step 5) Low (10) Medium (50) High (100) High (1.0) Low 10 x 1.0 = 10 Medium 50 x 1.0 = 50 High 100 x 1.0 = 100 Medium (0.5) Low 10 x 0.5 = 5 Medium 50 x 0.5 = 25 High 100 x 0.5 = 50 Low (0.1) Low 10 x 0.1= 1 Medium 50 x 0.1 = 5 High 100 x 0.1 = 10 Note: The information contained in this table is for illustration purposes only. NAP 14.1-C H-35 05-02-08 Given the values of Threat Likelihood and Threat Impact, the Risk Determination for each threat can proceed, as shown in Table 17. Table 17. Vulnerability Risk Table Asset Type Vulnerability Description NAP 14.1-C Security Control Threat Likelihood Threat Impact Risk Determination Value Windows OS Latest hot fixes not applied SI-1 High (1.0) High (100) High (100 x 1.0 = 100) Workstation Multiple users use the same password IA-2 High (1.0) Medium (50) Medium (50 x 1.0 = 50) Note: The information contained in this table is for illustration purposes only. Description of Risk Level Table 18 describes the risk levels shown in the above matrix. Table 18. Risk Scale and Necessary Actions Risk Rating Action Implementation High High-risk levels create a strong need for corrective actions and the creation of an action plan that is put in place as quickly as possible. Moderate-risk levels warrant corrective actions and a plan to incorporate those actions within a reasonable period of time. Low For low-risk levels, the application owner must decide whether corrective actions are needed or whether the risks may be accepted. This risk scale, with its ratings of High, Medium, and Low, represents the degree or level of risk to which a system, facility, or procedure might be exposed if a given vulnerability were exercised. The risk scale also presents actions that senior management, the mission owners, must take for each risk level. 2.8 Protection Requirement Recommendations This topic describes the protection requirement recommendations (control recommendations). During Step 8 of the process, controls that could mitigate or eliminate the identified risks, as appropriate to the organization’s operations, are provided. The goal of the recommended controls is to reduce the level of risk to the system and its data to an acceptable level.

Section 95

H-36 NAP 14.1-C 05-02-08 The following factors should be considered in recommending controls and alternative solutions to minimize or eliminate identified risks: ● Existence and effectiveness of current controls ● Effectiveness of recommended options (for example, system compatibility) ● Legislation and regulation ● Organizational policy ● Operational impact ● Safety and reliability The control recommendations are the results of the risk assessment process and provide input to the risk mitigation process, during which the recommended procedural and technical security controls are evaluated, prioritized, and implemented. It should be noted that not all possible recommended controls can be implemented to reduce loss. To determine which ones are required and appropriate for a specific organization, a cost-benefit analysis should be conducted for the proposed recommended controls, to demonstrate that the costs of implementing the controls can be justified by the reduction in the level of risk. In addition, the operational impact (for example, effect on system performance) and feasibility (for example, technical requirements, user acceptance) of introducing the recommended option should be evaluated carefully during the risk mitigation process. 2.9 Results Documentation Once the risk assessment has been completed (threat sources and vulnerabilities identified, risks assessed, and recommended controls provided), Step 9 requires that the results of the risk assessment be documented in an official report or briefing. NAP 14.1-C H-37 05-02-08 Table 19 provides a sample Risk Assessment Report Vulnerability Summary table. Table 19.

RISK ASSESSMENT REPORT A Risk assessment report is prepared that describes the system threats and vulnerabilities, measures the risk, and provides recommendations for control implementation. A risk assessment report is a management report that helps senior management, the mission owners, make decisions on policy, procedural, budget, and system operational and management changes. A risk assessment report is a management report that helps senior management, the mission owners, make decisions on policy, procedural, budget, and system operational and management changes. Unlike an audit or investigation report, which looks for wrongdoing, a risk assessment report should not be presented in an accusatory manner but as a systematic and analytical approach to assessing risk so that senior management will understand the risks and allocate resources to reduce and correct potential losses. For this reason, some people prefer to address the threat/vulnerability pairs as observations instead of findings in the risk assessment report.
