Cyber Security to the Edge: Applying Edge Theory to Cyber Security Operations

Abstract

Defending Department of Defense networks is a complex endeavor. Our current method of defending networks starts with topdown rules, policies and regulations. These rules and regulations are complex and in many cases may be redundant or contradicted to meet an urgent operational requirement. Additionally the requirements contained in these policies are not always funded. This paper will examine if edge organizational techniques and Edge Theory could be applied to cyber security organizations to improve the defense of DoD networks.
