We will introduce a new framework called cyber zone defense (CZD) that treats malware like a black box: a process we can study solely based on its internal and external communication. We can reduce the impact of malware, without regard to its functionality or even existence, by limiting only these connections. In this paper, we propose two metrics for measuring CZD effectiveness and an illustrative simulation and a closed form mathematical model that predicts these statistics. The simulation is intuitive; it allows the analyst to provision arbitrary configurations and see how changes in topology affect the efficacy of the CZD. The model provides a mathematical verification for CZD and matches the results of the simulation well. These artifacts test the feasibility of CZD while deferring implementation details.

The recent Executive Order creating the National Strategic Computing Initiative (NSCI) recognizes the value of high performance computing for economic competitiveness and scientific discovery and commits to accelerate delivery of exascale computing. The HPC programs at Sandia –the NNSA ASC program and Sandia’s Institutional HPC Program– are focused on ensuring that Sandia has the resources necessary to deliver computation in the national interest.
