Abstract

As attack techniques evolve, cybersystems must also evolve to provide the best continuous defense. Leveraging classical denial and deception techniques to understand the specifics of adversary attacks enables an organization to build an active, threat-based cyber defense. The Web extra at https://youtu.be/9g_HLNXiLto is a video that describes how in January 2012, MITRE performed a real-time, red team/blue team cyber-wargame experiment that presented the opportunity to blend cyber-warfare with traditional mission planning and execution, including denial and deception tradecraft.
