Despite significant strides toward building secure and trustworthy systems, there is ample evidence that adversaries retain their ability to compromise systems. "Engineering for System Assurance" [1] (the Guidebook)—a publication from the National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA)—provides process and technology guidance to increase the level of systems assurance (SA).
