Cyber Security Initiative
Abstract
(U) The goal of the Cyber Security Initiative is to revolutionize the Nation’s ability to conduct cyber operations by developing a persistent and cost effective cyber testing environment. The National Cyber Range (NCR) will produce qualitative and quantitative assessments of cyber security research and development programs through a safe, fully-automated and instrumented environment. The range will replicate complex, large-scale, heterogeneous networks and users of current and future systems and operations. It will revolutionize cyber testing by enabling multiple, independent, simultaneous experiments on the same infrastructure to facilitate realistic testing of global scale research, and develop and revolutionize the state-of-the-art in cyber testing in order to facilitate rapid transition of research programs to operations.
