Mission Assurance

Overview

Awareness of the prevalent threat model of highly sophisticated and well-funded cyber adversaries is growing. To address this, information systems must be designed, built, and operated with the expectation that system components may contain unknown vulnerabilities that may be unknowingly compromised. MITRE is developing information assurance techniques that meet mission objectives and operate effectively even when working with vulnerable cyber systems under sophisticated life-cycle attacks. MITRE is using a multi-pronged risk management approach to reduce cyber vulnerabilities and mitigate consequences from any remaining threats.

Examples of projects related to this challenge area include:

  • Host-Based Firewall with Dynamic Encryption Capability
  • Information Sharing via Trusted Intermediaries
  • Low-Cost Anti-Tamper Technology
  • Malware Phylogenetics
  • Mission Assurance via Resilient Systems
  • Mission Aware Reporting of Information Assurance for Airborne Networks (MARIAAN)
  • Rapid Trusted Video Stream Dissemination
  • TRIDENT (Trust Research in Distributed and Emerging Network Technology)
