Can a cybersecurity parametric cost estimation model be developed? Every Department of Defense (DoD) program needs to account for, credibly estimate, budget/plan for, and assess the performance of its cybersecurity activities. Creating a cybersecurity parametric model would allow DoD programs to reliably estimate the effort and cost of cybersecurity activities, estimate an overall cybersecurity cost for a program, and obtain a defined and normalized set of cybersecurity data. In this webcast, Christopher Miller shares insights from a Carnegie Mellon University Software Engineering Institute study on cybersecurity cost estimating that can help national security organizations successfully deploy parametric cost modeling.

What Attendees Will Learn:

• a proposed work breakdown structure identifying cybersecurity-related activities and cost items, and existing descriptions of secure coding practices and levels of rigor for those practices based on data availability

• an approach to develop a cybersecurity parametric cost model

• a methodology to develop the cost model
