This firm is working to develop novel methods and software tools for human cognition augmentation in cyber security systems. The methods and tools produced in this effort will be used to increase situational awareness of cyber analysts, focusing on improving their comprehension of dynamic interplay between attack characteristics and network conditions, as the situations unfold. Improved situational comprehension will enable improved performance across a range of tasks carried out in the course of cyber analysis, including assessing threats, determining their likely impact, and selecting defensive and/or offensive countermeasures commensurate with the changing conditions and operational priorities. The product will help to streamline cognitive operations and reduce cognitive workload experienced by cyber analysts.
