The ART of Cyber Strategy
Attribution - tracing the network of origin (vice the routing
networks) of attack vectors, as well as determining the
identity of the attacker
Rules of engagement - metrics for mission risk exposure for a
particular cyber event, and how to determine the appropriate
level (e.g., time, magnitude & duration) of the response
action [retaliation]
Trust Relationships - dynamic assessment and assignment of
trust levels for domestic and international collaborative &
sharing offer the greatest fidelity for determining current and
future actions
