Abstract
NPS has performed research on multiple aspects of resilience and response. The results of an automated cyber defense use case form the basis of what can be called a Cyber Warfighting System (CWS) sponsored by Commander, U.S. Fleet Cyber Command / U.S. TENTH Fleet with collaboration by the Deputy Commandant for Information, Headquarters Marine Corps. The operational aspects of the CWS are the ability to 1. Sight and declare the threat and 2. Set appropriate resilience and readiness postures then respond. The intent of the CWS project is to study and analyze cloud-centric cyber defense capabilities in lab environments that simulate the loss or degradation of internet connectivity. The CWS project will study how to integrate tools, tactics, and networks to augment a Local Defender afloat or in the field with advanced analytics and courses of action from ashore or rear Security Operations Center support. The CWS project will analyze the ability of these tools, tactics, and networks to fill gaps in ship and field systems, especially for machine learning, data aggregation and visualization. The primary deliverables are recommendations to Commander, U.S. Fleet Cyber Command / U.S. TENTH Fleet, OPNAV N2N6D, Naval Information Warfighting Development Center, and Deputy Commandant for Information, Headquarters Marine Corps on how to construct, test, and evaluate the Cyber Warfighting System for ships underway or marines in the field.
