The Cyberspace Advantage: Inviting Them In-How Cyber Deception Enables Better Resilience

Abstract

Building systems that are highly resilient to the cyber threat means employing techniques and technologies that adversaries are unable to anticipate, navigate through, or successfully attack. One option is embedding systems with special-purpose hardware, operating systems, and software, to create a special sauce that is unique to that system and not exposed to the adversary. Making systems highly resilient can also mean employing techniques listed in the NIST document, such as non-persistence and diversity. While these mechanisms can limit the adversarys ability to establish a foothold in our most critical assets, there is an often-overlooked approach to cyber security that can yield both short- and long-term benefits.
