Detection (implied) 2. Notification and preliminary inquiry 3. Containment and continuity of operations 4. Formal inquiry 5. Resolution 6.

Define the purpose and function of the militarily critical technologies list (MCTL) - Serves as a technical reference for the development and implementation of DoD technology, security policies on international transfers of defense-related goods, services, and technologies as administered by the Director, Defense Technology Security Administration (DTSA). Describe how authorization of Limited Access Authority impacts risk to DoD assets - Increases risk by allowing a foreign national access to classified information.

List three different types of threats to classified information - (1) Insider threat (2) Foreign Intelligence entities (3) Cybersecurity Threat What is the security professionals' role in pursuing and meeting cyber security goals? - The role of the cyberspace workforce is to "secure, defend, and preserve data, networks, net-centric capabilities, and other designated systems by ensuring appropriate security controls and measures are in place, and taking internal defense actions" (DoDD 8140.01). Per DoDI 8500.01, Cybersecurity (March 14, 2014), personnel occupying cybersecurity positions must be assigned in writing and trained / qualified in accordance with their role. Identify specific baseline administrative and/or physical security controls applicable to each system categorization - Controls are identified by enumerating the common controls, identifying those relevant to the categorization level as defined in NIST SP 800-53, potentially tailored by the Authorizing Official, and overlays are applied based on the nature of the system. List three (3) factors for determining whether US companies are under Foreign Ownership Control of Influence (FOCI) - 1. Record of economic and government espionage against the US targets. 2.
