Innovation Based Ecosystems
Volume 6 Issue 3
New buzz words like 'innovation ecosystems' often symbolize a departure from a legacy system to a more modern system and an underlying shift focus from operations management to service delivery with better user experience, reduce operational cost, minimize disruption, and enable personnel to do more with less. This issue of the Journal of Cyber Security…Posted: 11/01/2018 11:59:22Journal -
The Defense M&S Catalog was established by Defense Modeling & Simulation Coordination Office to support the visibility component of the DoD data strategy and to provide an avenue for M&S organizations to make resources available for reuse. The Catalog is a collection point for enterprise discovery and actively seeks contribution of resources from M&S organizations.… -

In this episode of the CSIAC Podcast, SMEs discuss a DDos attack on GitHub, a data breach suffered by the U.S. Marine Forces Reserve, an iPhone hack, and an Army Research Lab contract for "Internet of Battlefield Things". -
Machine learning is revolutionizing many industries and forever changing how we interact with computer systems and each other. The revolution is occurring in cyber security, where machine learning is already being applied to assist human analysts and security experts ingest and make sense of increasingly large amounts of data so that they can identify threats and make decisions as to how best to mitigate vulnerabilities. While this symbiotic relationship is improving our security posture, it is fundamentally limited by humans making decisions at human speed. Significant gains in security can be made if autonomy is embraced and “trusted” machine learning is given license to make actionable decisions at machine speed. Despite the potential benefits, there have been relatively few research efforts and applications of autonomous machine learning towards cyber security applications. The purpose of this article is to make the case for increased research and development of autonomous control machine learning approaches in the cyber domain. In it, we discuss emerging autonomous machine learning technologies and their recent successes, technical and non-technical challenges that still need to be overcome for practical autonomous applications of machine learning, and finally some thoughts on potential near-term applications of autonomous machine learning to cyber security.

Cyber-As-Zoo: Multidisciplinary Cyber Struggle
Volume 6 Issue 2
This quarter’s CSIAC Journal contains five articles that offer some perspectives to address the often-heard phrase “Cyber Is Hard”, usually associated with gnashing of teeth and exasperated sighs.Posted: 08/09/2018 18:10:03Journal -
Machine learning is revolutionizing many industries and forever changing how we interact with computer systems and each other. The revolution is particularly relevant to cyber security, where machine learning is used to help human analysts make sense of increasingly large amounts of data to identify threats and mitigate vulnerabilities. While this symbiotic relationship is improving… -
Knowledge Management (KM) is a discipline that is as much art as it is science. Like the conversations that take place in stodgy art galleries over the definition of censorship, opinions on the definition of knowledge management are many and varied. As art aficionados write articles advocating vehemently for one perspective or the other, so…

Developing a knowledge management framework for any organization presents a number of challenges and questions. Where do I start? What is the ultimate goal? Is this effort top-down, bottom-up, or middle-out? How many systems do we have and how many do the same thing? When faced with such a task, knowledge managers could be quickly… -
Cybersecurity solutions for critical energy infrastructure are imperative and they must be carefully engineered to develop reliable systems. Cybersecurity for the modernized power grid is bringing together two different communities: Information technology (IT) and Operational technology (OT). The IT and OT environments differ in important ways but each has benefits that can be gained from… -
In the past five years alone, the amount of mobile data has grown eighteen fold (Cisco Mobile VNI, 2017). Security concerns are at the forefront due to the reliance on mobile devices for both business and personal use, along with the ever-increasing data usage. There are two concepts of mobile security; physical and data. Physical… -
Insider Threat and the Malicious Insider Threat
Volume 6 Issue 1
Analyze. Deter. Discover. Prevent. Respond. This issue of the CSIAC Journal presents five articles which represent different perspectives on Insider Threat and approaches to understand and remediate that threat. In this journal we are proud to identify and include work by two organizations with a long history of research and good counsel regarding Insider Threat…Posted: 05/09/2018 14:39:24Journal -

This is the first CS Digest show of the CSIAC Podcast. The Cybersecurity (CS) Digest is a curated bi-weekly news summary for cybersecurity professionals. It is transmitted in an HTML-formatted email and provides links to articles and news summaries across a spectrum of cybersecurity topics. In today's show we here at the CSIAC take the… -
The substantial cyber threat to the nation's Critical Infrastructure is the context for this discussion on DoD policy concerns and current R&D efforts. Topics will include Weasel Board being developed at Sandia National Laboratory, More Situational Awareness for Industrial Control Systems (MOSAICS), sponsored by PACOM and NORTHCOM, and recent policy concerns relating to cyber security… -
Managing the data generated by Internet of Things (IoT) sensors and actuators is one of the biggest challenges faced when deploying an IoT system. Traditional cloud-based IoT systems are challenged by the large scale, heterogeneity, and high latency witnessed in some cloud ecosystems. One solution is to decentralize applications, management, and data analytics into the…
