A Cyber Awareness Framework for Attack Analysis, Prediction, and Visualization

Abstract

The objective of this research is to develop novel situation awareness theories and techniques to obtain an accurate view of the available cyber-assets and to automatically determine the assets required to carryout each mission task. Based on this information, we will automatically assess the damage of attacks, possible next moves, and the impact on the missions. We will also model the behavior of adversaries to predict the threat of future attacks to the success of a mission. Finally, we will present the status of the current missions and the impact of possible countermeasures to a security officer, using a semantically-rich environment. Each of these technologies will be integrated into a coherent cyber-situation awareness framework.
