Applied Research Associates, Inc. (ARA) is proud to announce it has been awarded a patent for its cyberspace operations effectiveness modeling technology.
The patented modeling method moves the needle on using quantitative approaches to analyze and reduce uncertainty in complex cyber environments. The method provides a framework for integrating data, state, cyber subject matter expertise, and mathematical models for an engineering level view of the domain and effects of various courses of action.
With this innovative model, analysts and decision makers can:
- Understand the full cyber landscape: Model targets, their environments, and any uncertainties that might impact success.
- Optimize mission success: Use built-in analytics to identify vulnerabilities early, calculate the probability of success, and fine-tune attack plans.
- Leverage trusted performance data: Quantify and standardize cyber capability performance metrics, enabling realistic simulations of individual or chained attacks.
- Stay ahead of threats: Automatically access the National Vulnerability Database to discover and address potential weaknesses.
“ARA has a long history of developing advanced modeling methods that protect national security. By delivering clear, data-driven insights, our modeling capability gives teams the confidence to act decisively, providing the operational edge to succeed in an increasingly complex and contested digital domain.”
Inventor Charlie Fisher, ARA Director of Cyber and Non-Kinetic Effects.
