Resiliency Scoring

Produce repeatable and deterministic measurements of cyber infrastructure component resiliency

Cyber infrastructure is evolving rapidly in order to support a dynamic mix and high volume of application traffic, as well as defend against attacks from both criminal agents and enemies of the state. Without current and measurable insight into network resiliency it is simply not possible to accurately assess the performance, security and stability of cyber infrastructure elements and systems. Given the number of global threats facing government agencies, enterprises and service providers today, it is imperative to demand that IT equipment is examined with resiliency in mind before it is installed, in order to uncover the virtual stress fractures lurking within the cyber infrastructure.

Measuring cyber infrastructure resiliency

A Cyber Tomography Machine provides a repeatable and scientific cyber attack simulation by replicating global network traffic conditions to validate the resiliency of network and data center equipment during cyber attack. That not only assesses the resiliency of cyber infrastructure, but it can scientifically certify resiliency. A resiliency certification, in line with a UL-type standard, is critical to government agencies tasked with protecting our nation’s information network infrastructure. Cyber resiliency certification requires a baseline set of industry standards to improve testing and protect critical assets in the face of growing cyber threats. By putting a cyber resiliency certification in place, government agencies, enterprises and service providers can:

  • Confidently assess the overall risk and liability of a network element

  • Hold equipment manufacturers accountable for their claims

  • Use the information to harden cyber infrastructure against attack

  • Identify weak equipment for replacement
