Cyber Security Collaborative Research Alliance
Abstract
The Cyber Security CRA focuses on three Research Areas (Risk, Detection, Agility), and on Cross Cutting Research Issue (CCRI) (Psychosocial Effects). Research in Risk will develop theories and models that relate fundamental properties and features of dynamic risk assessment algorithms to the fundamental properties of dynamic cyber threats, Army's networks, and defensive mechanisms. Research in Detection will develop theories and models that relate properties and capabilities of cyber threat detection and recognition processes/mechanisms to properties of a malicious activity, and of properties of Army networks. Research in Agility will develop theories and models to support planning and controls of cyber maneuver (i.e., "maneuver" in the space of network characteristics and topologies) that would describe how control and end-state of the maneuver are influenced by fundamental properties of threats, such as might be rapidly inferred from limited observations of a new, recently observed threat. The Psychosocial Effects CCRI is studied in each of the three Research Areas and will develop theories and models related to user, operator and adversary behavior in risk assessment, detection, and cyber maneuver. Research Areas will develop theories and models related to user, operator and adversary behavior in risk assessment, detection, and cyber maneuver.
