Agile Operations

Abstract

Explore new methods and technologies to dynamically reshape cyber systems as conditions/goals change, in order to escape harm, or to manipulate the adversary. These capabilities present technology challenges in the areas of Autonomic Cyber Agility and Cyber Maneuver. Autonomic Cyber Agility covers several forms of agility for example, as cyber infrastructures increase in scale and complexity, there is an urgent need for autonomous and agile mechanisms to reconfigure, heal, optimize, and protect defensive and offensive cyber mechanisms. Cyber Maneuver is a new way to manage systems dynamically in a cyber operation. It is a set of emerging methods for maintaining defensive or offensive advantage in cyber operations. It entails developing mechanisms that enable goal-directed reshaping of cyber systems. Cyber Maneuver encompasses: reallocation (repurposing a device or platform), reconfiguration (changing the way a system performs a task), and repositories (altering the operating state in a logical or physical topology).
