August 2015: Adaptive Knowledge Encoding for Agile Cybersecurity Operations

An agile cybersecurity operation is the dynamic adaptability of security services and mechanisms including people, process, technology, and environment to ensure organizational efficacy. Cybersecurity operation practitioners are overwhelmed with data and information, but underwhelmed in knowledge and understanding. Adaptive knowledge encoding introduces cybersecurity decision patterns (CDPs) as formal knowledge representation to capture, codify, and share knowledge that supports practitioners to perform timely agile cybersecurity operations. CDPs also provide a foundation for training artificial intelligence in the cybersecurity operations domain.
