The Department of Defense Cyber Crime Center (DC3) is designated as a Federal Cyber Center by National Security Presidential Directive 54/Homeland Security Presidential Directive 23,[1] as a Department of Defense (DoD) Center Of Excellence for Digital and Multimedia (D/MM) forensics by DoD Directive 5505.13E,[2] and serves as the operational focal point for the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) Cybersecurity program.[3] DC3 operates as a Field Operating Agency (FOA) under the Inspector General of the Department of the Air Force.[4]

Mission

Deliver superior digital and multimedia forensic services, cyber technical training, vulnerability sharing, technical solutions development, and cyber analysis within the following DoD mission areas: cybersecurity and critical infrastructure protection , law enforcement and counterintelligence , document and media exploitation , and counterterrorism .[4][5]

Cyber Forensics Laboratory

The Cyber Forensics Laboratory performs Digital and Multimedia (D/MM) forensic examinations, repairs damaged devices and extracts otherwise inaccessible data from them, data extraction, nd provides expert testimony in legal proceedings for DC3 customers. The lab’s robust intrusion and malware analysis capability supports law enforcement, counterintelligence, and Defense Industrial Base activities and operations. The CFL also works with the Defense Cyber Operations Panel (which consists of Defense Criminal Investigative Organizations and Military Department Counterintelligence Organizations) to develop requirements and set standards for digital investigations as new technologies emerge and evolve. The CFL is an accredited lab under ISO 17025 by the ANSI National Accreditation Board, and its operations are subject to strict quality control and peer review. The CFL produces results which are valid and reliable, based on conditions and methods which are repeatable.

Cyber Training

The DC3 Cyber Training Academy, formerly DCITA (The Defense Cyber Investigations Training Academy), provides in-residence and online training to DoD elements that protect DoD information systems from unauthorized use, criminal, fraudulent, and foreign intelligence activities. The Academy's curriculum offers courses organized into specialty areas. Since its founding in 1998, the Academy has recorded more than 35,000 student enrollments in its courses.[8][9]

Technical Solutions

The DC3 Technical Solutions Development (DC3/TSD) Directorate tailors software and system solutions engineered to the specific requirements of digital forensic examiners and cyber intrusion analysts. TSD validates commercial off-the-shelf (COTS), government off-the-shelf (GOTS), and in-house developed software/hardware before it can be used in a forensic process. In addition, TSD functions as the DoD repository for cyber counterintelligence (CI) tools.[10]

DIB Cybersecurity

As the operational hub for the DIB CS/IA Program, the DIB Collaborative Information Sharing Environment (DC3/DCISE) assists DIB companies to safeguard DoD content and intellectual property residing on or transiting their unclassified networks. DCISE develops and shares actionable threat products, and performs cyber analysis, diagnostics, and remediation consults for DIB Partners.[11]

Analytical Group

The DC3 Analytical Group (DC3/AG) supports LE/CI agencies, including the Air Force Office of Special Investigations (OSI), the Naval Criminal Investigative Services (NCIS), and key mission partners such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). As a member agency of the National Cyber Investigative Joint Task Force (NCIJTF), the AG leads a collaborative analytical and technical exchange with subject matter experts from LE/CI, computer network defense (CND), Intelligence Community (IC), and information assurance (IA) agencies to build a threat picture enabling proactive LE/CI cyber operations focuses on nation-state threat actors.[12]

Vulnerability Disclosure

The DoD Vulnerability Disclosure Program (VDP) leverages the experience and knowledge of ethical hackers from around the world to improve network defenses and enhance mission assurance. DC3 was assigned by the Secretary of Defense to be the DoD focal point for receiving vulnerability reports and interacting with researchers consistent with DC3's existing information sharing responsibilities as a Federal Cybersecurity Center.
