Cyber Security Initiative
Abstract
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) program will develop a network testbed that will allow for research experimentation on diverse hardware and software topologies to produce qualitative and quantitative assessments of cyber security research and development programs through a safe, instrumented experimentation environment. The range will replicate complex, heterogeneous networks. It will revolutionize cyber testing to enable efficient cyber experimentation and facilitate realistic testing of tools and techniques to enable high fidelity assessments of cyber tools and techniques and the rapid transition of research programs to operations. This program will begin transition to the U.S. Cyber Command (USCYBERCOM) and will be available for leverage or use by all Federal Government organizations.
