- Summary:
- The authors assembled novel datasets of publicly tracked common vulnerabilities and exposures, estimated vulnerability operational times, and collected software update cadence data to explore potential trends across a variety of software product categories. Altogether, the data were used to quantify uncertainties related to cost and operational time of software vulnerabilities and update a cost model to estimate life-cycle costs of the U.S. Marine Corps Joint Cyber Weapons (JCW) program. A cost-estimating framework developed in prior research—which captured demand requirements for cyber capabilities (CCs), uncertainties surrounding vulnerability decay rates and weapon development costs, variable adversary defense capabilities, and time phasing of acquisitions into service—was updated with the new data assembled in this report. Potential investment portfolios were then explored.
