Abstract

Society is increasingly reliant upon complex and interconnected cyber systems to conduct daily life activities. From personal finance to managing defense capabilities to controlling a vast web of aircraft traffic, digitized information systems and software packages have become integrated at virtually all levels of individual and collective activity. While such integration has been met with immense increases in efficiency of service delivery, it has also been subject to a diverse body of threats from nefarious hackers, groups, and even state government bodies. Such cyber threats have shifted over time to affect various cyber functionalities, such as with direct denial of service (DDoS), data theft, changes to data code, infection via computer virus, and many others.
