Cyber Grand Challenge (CGC)
Abstract
The Cyber Grand Challenge (CGC) program created automated defenses that identified and responded to cyber attacks more rapidly than human operators. CGC technology monitored defended software and networks during operations, reasoned about flawed software, formulated effective defenses, and deployed defenses automatically. Technologies developed and integrated included anomaly detection, Monte Carlo input generation, case-based reasoning, heuristics, game theory, and stochastic optimization. The CGC capability is needed because highly-scripted, distributed cyber attacks exhibit speed, complexity, and scale that exceed the capability of human cyber defenders to respond in a timely manner. DARPA incentivized competition through a Grand Challenge in which CGC technologies competed head-to-head.
