Resiliency Research Snapshot

Abstract

This report offers a snapshot of unclassified government, academic, and commercial cyber-resiliency efforts gathered as background for MITRE Cyber-Resiliency research. Toward that end, the authors gathered information to note current cyber resiliency research, and assist in generating new ideas for MITRE research and sponsor action. The information was collected through MITRE library research resources in iterative passes, the last pass completed in mid-Spring, 2011. The authors first related a characterization of the resiliency landscape to library research professionals, who then used that characterization to perform a search of available literature sources. Several iterations were run, with earlier searches influencing those that followed. The authors defined categories for binning the results under a few recognized resiliency themes such as dynamic reconfiguration, detection, and isolation. The search yielded about 300 items, most of them published after 2005. The items had contributors from academic institutions in about 75% of the total, government in about 50% of the articles, and about 25% had commercial participation. About 70% of the articles had one or more USA affiliated participants, 28% had European participants, and 15% had participants from other parts of the world. Detection was the most frequent item categorization with twice the volume of any other category, and isolation and deception articles were the least well represented.
