Cyber Defense Matrix(c)

The goal of this project is to investigate metrics, formal techniques, and tools to address Cyber Defense Matrix optimization and orchestration to offer the maximum cyber security benefit with the affordable budget and usability cost considering the enterprise mission requirements. The optimization of CDM/CDO must satisfy number of conditions: (1) minimizing the attack surface and potential damage, (2) creating metrics for measuring “benefit” and “cost” to provide a cost-effective security investment according mission and budget, and (3) multi-layer defense diversity for enabling built-in cyber resiliency against single-point of failure/attacks.
