Performance-based cyber resilience metrics: An applied demonstration toward moving target defense

Hossain-McKenzie, Shamina S.; Lai, C.; Chavez, Adrian R.; Vugrin, Eric D.

Energy resilience has emerged as a national security priority over the past fifteen years. Recent research efforts have aimed to develop metrics and analysis methods for energy resilience, but most of those efforts have focused on extreme weather and other natural hazards as the threat of interest. This paper introduces a novel set of resilience metrics and exemplifies how they can be applied to analyze resilience for growing concerns about cyber threats. The metrics are formally described with mathematical equations and demonstrated in a case study that evaluates the resilience benefits of a new moving target defense technology.
