Identifying cybersecurity vulnerabilities continues to be near the top of the Air Force's priorities.While the department has its own in-house cyber office, Cyber Resiliency Office for Weapons Systems, there are not enough officers to cover all of the technology being acquired and developed. It is estimated that the volume of new vulnerabilities in weapons systems may now exceed the ability of the DoD to identify and patch the systems before adversaries can exploit them. Identifying and remediating these vulnerabilities becomes even more insurmountable and costly when the tools to identify vulnerabilities are not able to exchange information across platforms and systems. All these platforms have different operating systems and maintenance requirements, but all platforms used by the Air Force have a need to detect cyber threats; the Air Force needs a solution that works on all systems, regardless of their level of interoperability with each other. Nucleus is a platform that makes cybersecurity vulnerability and risk management easier, more effective, and efficient. Nucleus can integrate with any platform, any software, and thus can be used to detect cyber threats in any unit on any interface, which reduces the time and resources needed to scan and adapt to multiple platforms.
