Active-Reactive Cyber Systems (ARCS)
Abstract
The Active-Reactive Cyber Systems (ARCS) program will develop technologies to enable hosts, systems, and networks to actively sense for threats and to dynamically react to attacks. Current cyber defense technologies are statically configured to satisfy a complex set of engineering trade-offs and are rarely optimized for the dynamic environments in which they are deployed. ARCS technologies will use organic sensors, remote instrumentation, and other sources of cyber situation awareness information to continuously optimize cyber defenses. Host and network management and control technologies will be developed that enable systems to fight through cyber attack and provide essential mission services by repurposing resources to critical services, repairing damaged resources, and utilizing degraded resources. ARCS software agents will protect data stores by implementing dynamic access controls that consider user and program authorization within the context of the cyber situation and network defense posture.
