Cyber Resilience, Transparency and Monotonicity under Zero-Trust

Professor Hideto Tomabechi
Carnegie Mellon University

ABSTRACT

Under a zero-trust paradigm for cyber resilience, we assume all defensive actions against an opponent’s penetration activities may fail. One important aspect in resilience is to have a very fast and computationally inexpensive way to recover the original state. One fast monotonic methodology is explained in this talk based on large scale systems we developed at Carnegie Mellon and through Japanese government-funded projects. The talk may include introduction to another project “Internal Representation in Cognitive Warfare.”
