DARPA OPX information assurance: technologies and lessons learned
John H. Lowry, Doug Maughan · Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE · 2003
The behavior of cyber-terrorists and other cyber-adversaries can be modeled to identify critical phases of their behavior yielding insights into necessary behavior for them to accomplish their mission. Focusing technology on thwarting the adversary mission rather than particular exploits is a critical component of successful defense-in-depth. This paper presents the results of modeling workshops that led to a set of experiments that successfully thwarted a cyber-adversary’s mission.
