• Evaluate the cybersecurity stance of a USMC defense program, ensuring it adapts to  leading cybersecurity practices and prioritizes cyber threats based on  comprehensive cyber analysis.
• Examine foreign capabilities to detect, disrupt, and block USMC emissions and signals across the entire cyber kill chain, including, but not limited to, emissions from targeting, communications, and ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance) systems, as well as reversible and  non-reversible attacks.
• Monitor and assess advancements in emerging and commercial technologies that state and non-state actors could leverage to detect, disrupt, or compromise USMC  acquisition programs' network infrastructure.
• Identify critical risk factors within the environment, such as network classification, baseline activity, system architecture, operating systems, services, connectivity,  and bandwidth.
• Determine the boundaries of the network for potential collection activities.
• Define the limits of connected or supporting networks that may require collection efforts.
• Evaluate existing databases to identify intelligence gaps.
• Utilize open-source information to collect Publicly Available Information (PAI).
• Investigate the physical battlespace to understand how the environment could influence tactical operations.
• Characterize the effects of the battlespace.
• Analyze the battlespace environment in terms of information, services, and networks, focusing on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, and evaluating mechanisms to protect, detect, respond, restore, and conduct reviews.
• Examine additional characteristics of the battlespace, such as security measures, auditing  procedures, and backup systems. Assess the adversary's physical location of assets, architecture, automation capabilities, security policies, baseline activity, vulnerabilities, and conclusions related to Rules of  Engagement (ROE) for Information Assurance (IA), Computer Network Defense (CND), and Computer Network Attack (CNA).
• Identify potential Courses of Action (COA) for the adversary.
• Determine the adversary's likely objectives and desired outcomes.
• Identify all possible COAs available to the adversary, with an emphasis on the most likely and most dangerous options.
• Develop COAs based on the adversary's perspective of friendly information architecture (reverse cyber IPB).
• Evaluate and prioritize each adversary's COA.
• Continuously refine COAs as new information becomes available over time.
• Assess foreign Computer Network Defense (CND) and Computer Network Attack (CNA) capabilities, limitations, and vulnerabilities.
• Evaluate potential vulnerabilities in USMC tactical systems to CNA, including systems  associated with targeting, ISR, and navigation.
• Provide  portfolio-specific analysis, expertise, and intelligence production as  outlined below.
• Conduct Threat Steering Groups with participants from USMC Combat Development & Integration to identify key factors and significant risk drivers for potential material solutions that may influence lifecycle cost, performance, schedule, and      other acquisition decisions.
• Produce and deliver Validated Online Lifecycle Threat Reports (VOLTs), Critical Intelligence Parameters (CIPs), and Capability Development Threat Summaries to support  Marine Corps Acquisition Programs throughout the Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System (JCIDS) process, assisting the Defense Acquisition System.
