  A security-focused description of a system, its operational policies, classes of users, interactions between the system and its users, and the system’s contribution to the operational mission. Note 1: The security concept of operations may address security for other life cycle concepts associated with the deployed system. These include, for example, concepts for sustainment, logistics, maintenance, and training. Note 2: Security concept of operations is not the same as concept for secure function. Concept for secure function addresses the design philosophy for the system and is intended to achieve a system that is able to be used in a trustworthy secure manner. The security concept of operations must be consistent with the concept for secure function.
