Cyber Collaborative Research Alliance
Abstract
This Project fosters cyber research, performed by a competitively selected consortium, formed to advance the theoretical foundations of cyber science in the context of Army networks. This work consists of academia, industry, and government researchers working jointly to develop a fundamental understanding of cyber phenomena so that fundamental laws, theories, and theoretically grounded and empirically validated models can be applied to a broad range of Army domains, applications, and environments. This research focuses on three interrelated cyber aspects and is conducted using a trans-disciplinary approach that takes into account the human element of the network. The three aspects of cyber that are addressed are: 1) adaptive reasoning for deception, 2) anticipating, detecting, and analyzing malicious activities, and 3) agile cyber maneuver to thwart and defeat malicious activities. The overarching goals are to significantly decrease the adversary's return on investment when considering cyber-attack on Army networks and minimizing the impact on (Army) network performance. This research creates a framework that effectively integrates the knowledge of cyber assets and potential adversary capabilities and approaches and provides defense mechanisms that dynamically adjust to changes related to mission, assets, vulnerability state, and defense mechanisms. The cited work is consistent with the Assistant Secretary of Defense, Research and Engineering Science and Technology focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work in this Project is performed by the Army Research Laboratory (ARL).
