چکیده
Cyber Mission Resilience (CMR) is a significant step in the evolution of IT security. Not only does it reduce the complexity and cost of securing today’s IT systems, it helps prioritize security-related activities. The focus on mission resilience extends the scope of past security practices while simultaneously honing in on mission-critical systems, networks, and processes. This article explores the concepts and some of the challenges related to CMR and suggests areas for future research and study. Cyber Mission Resilience Mission Assurance in the Cyber Ecosystem

متن کاملTowards Actionable Mission Impact Assessment in the Context of Cloud Computing
Today’s cyber-attacks towards enterprise networks often un dermine and even fail the mission assurance of victim net works. Mission cyber resilience (or active cyber defense) is critical to prevent or minimize negative consequences to wards missions. Without effective mission impact assess ment, mission cyber resilience cannot be really achieved. However, there is an overlooked gap between ...
متن کاملBuilding Secure, Resilient Architectures for Cyber Mission Assurance
Today’s information technology (IT) environments are increasingly subject to escalating cyber attacks. Cyber threats vary widely in sophistication, intent, and the consequences to the targeted systems and networks. The range of attackers extends from users who unintentionally damage systems to hackers, to cyber criminals, to full‐scale cyber spies and cyber warriors; their intentions span from ...
متن کاملAnalyzing Mission Impacts of Cyber Actions (AMICA)
This paper describes AMICA (Analyzing Mission Impacts of Cyber Actions), an integrated approach for understanding mission impacts of cyber attacks. AMICA combines process modeling, discrete-event simulation, graph-based dependency modeling, and dynamic visualizations. This is a novel convergence of two lines of research: process modeling/simulation and attack graphs. AMICA captures process flow...
متن کاملEvaluating the Impact of Cyber Attacks on Missions
Using current methods, it is virtually impossible to determine the impact of a cyber attack on the attainment of mission objectives. Do we know which mission elements are affected? Can we continue to operate and fulfill the mission? Should we wait for recovery? Can we salvage part of the mission? Since it is currently so difficult for humans to comprehend the mission impact of a cyber incident,...
