    The practice requires designed-in capability to detect inappropriate or malicious activity within mission systems as soon as possible, which is active detection against a ground-system compromise.

    moderate

    Long-lived presence in ground infrastructure is what continuous detection and alerting exists to cut short; the as-soon-as-possible requirement speaks directly to dwell time.
