Active Cyber Defense (ACD)

Abstract

The Active Cyber Defense (ACD) program will enable DoD cyber operators to more fully leverage their inherent home field advantage when defending the cyber battlespace. For example, in the cyber environment the defender has detailed knowledge of and unlimited access to the system resources that the attacker is attempting to compromise. ACD technologies, drawn from discoveries realized in the Cyber Fast Track program, will build on these advantages and increase the attacker's work factor by enabling cyber defenders to counter adversary cyber tradecraft in real time.
