Description
USAF Cyber Mission Defense Teams (MDTs) and Cyber Protection Teams (CPTs) do not have an easy way to test and evaluate their personnel's ability to identify, investigate, and initiate response to representative adversary activity. Often, when they encounter adversary activity on their networks it is the first time and they have not practiced or its a false positive that is creating noise. Since these situations can not be controlled, MDT squadrons do not have a way to safely generate representative adversary traffic, observe technical and personnel behavior, annotate the results, provide debriefs and feedback, and show results over time. Cyber COAST proposes building an application called "Battle Stations" that integrates with the Verodin Security Instrumentation Platform (SIP) and the Elastic stack to provide this functionality within the production environment the MDT (or CPT) is protecting. Results can be used to provide repeatable evaluations and standardize MDT training across units and Major Commands.
