CRA Cyber-Security Collaborative Research Alliance: MACRO: Models for Enabling Continuous Reconfigurability of Secure Missions Prof. Patrick McDaniel Initial Feedback Meeting ARL - Adelphi, MD October 15th, 2013 CRA: Models for Enabling Continuous Reconfigurability of Secure Missions your vision; the consortium team and leadership structure, and a high level proposal structure. If you have already planned specific rotations (faculty, post-docs, students) for the first year, i
CRA Vision • Goal: develop a rigorous science of cyber-security that will (a) detect the risks and attacks present in an environment (b)understand/predict users, defenders, and attacker action (c) alter the environment to securely achieve maximal mission success rates at the lowest resource cost. reconfiguration/ system optimization Detection Risk system state likelihoods user state consequences Agility User User Models Models Defender Defender Models Models User Attacker Models Attacker Models Models Defender Models Attacker Models • Outcome: dictate and control the evolution of cyber- missions and adversarial actions 2 CRA: Models for Enabling Continuous Reconfigurability of Secure Missions

CRA Research Plan • The risk, detection, and agility teams will perform research by focusing on 4-5 related research tasks • Results to be integrated with unified mission model • Cross-team and cross thrust collaboration will be supported by multi-homed PIs from Universities and ARL: • Yearly week-long boot camps • Bi-annual team meetings • Bi-monthly team calls • Quarterly CRA open call briefings with ARL • Papers, reports, datasets, briefings, systems and management documents will be distributed (and controlled) through an online system ( cra.psu.edu ) 5 CRA: Models for Enabling Continuous Reconfigurability of Secure Missions

CRA Questions • ARL integration • How best to engage ARL researchers • Budget for ARL visiting scholars? • Process for University visiting researchers? • Tech transfer/field experience • Difficult to envision without industrial partner • Timeline for call? Assistance? • Operational contacts? • ARL/WEL and other cyber-security laboratory access? • IRB process at ARL • Dec meeting must be coordinated carefully: contact? • Term: Program Manager or Program Director, or PI 7 CRA: Models for Enabling Continuous Reconfigurability of Secure Missions
