Abstract

Cyber analysts must work long hours and under intense pressure all while performing complex mental tasks. Research is needed to improve the execution of their tasks. We describe a research plan that can be used to provide cyber analysts with the assistance they need using adaptive aids. The Multi-Level Cognitive Cybernetics (MLCC) [1] approach provides a methodological approach to studying adaptive automation and advancing its development across multiple levels of analysis. We follow up on a previous paper [1] by focusing on how MLCC can be used to improve cyber analyst tasks. We use the breakdown of cyber situation awareness by D’Amico and Whitley [2] to analyze the different cyber tasks and provide general examples of aids that may assist with each of the three stages. A more in-depth example of a specific type of cyber adaptive aid is then provided. We conclude with a call for action to expand adaptive automaton into the cyber realm.
