Abstract
The nature of the cyber warfare environment creates a unique confluence of situational awareness, understanding of correlations between actions, and measurement of progress toward a set of goals. Traditional fusion methods leverage the physical properties of objects and actions about those objects. These physical properties in many cases simply do not apply to cyber network objects. As a result, systematic, attributable measurement and understanding of the cyber warfare environment requires a different approach. We describe the application of a mathematical search engine having inherent design features that include tolerance of missing or incomplete data, virtually connected action paths, highly dynamic tactics and procedures, and broad variations in temporal correlation. The ability efficiently to consider a breadth of possibilities, combined with a chiefly symbolic computation outcome, offers unique capabilities in the cyber domain.
