Description
Cyber technologies are evolving at a very fast pace commensurate with the need to respond to cyber threats. This presentation addresses examples of cyber threat vectors (from the literature) and representative technologies. One important aspect of developing cyber technologies is employing cyber metrics. The presentation addresses a notional metric to assess the impact of cyber system attacks and defenses. Examples from recent literature are discussed of cyber systems impacted by major cyber breaches. We conclude with recommended long-term research to address some of the most significant challenges.
