Virtually all modern organizations have embedded information systems into their core business processes as a means to increase operational efficiency, improve decision making quality, and minimize costs. Unfortunately, this dependence can place an organization's mission at risk if the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of a critical information resource has been lost or degraded. Within the military, this type of incident could ultimately result in serious consequences including physical destruction and loss of life. To reduce the likelihood of this outcome, personnel must be informed about cyber incidents, and their potential consequences, in a timely and relevant manner so that appropriate contingency actions can be taken. In this paper, we identify criteria for improving the relevance of incident notification, propose the use of case-based reasoning (CBR) for contingency decision support, and identify key design considerations for implementing a CBR system used to deliver relevant notification following a cyber incident.

“…Mission impact assessment tries to translate the cyber effects caused by an incident into the anticipated changes in mission outcomes (Grimaila et al, 2009a). It is different from risk-assessment techniques in that the incident represents something actually detected and reported, rather than something that is hypothetical.…”

Virtually all modern organizations have embedded information and communication technologies into their core processes as a means to increase operational efficiency, improve decision quality, and reduce operational costs. However, this dependence can place the organizational mission at risk when an incident occurs that compromises a cyber resource critical to the success of the organizational mission. In this paper, the authors examine the challenges of developing and maintaining a mission-wide understanding of organizational mission risk within military environments. Specifically, they examine the concept of mission assurance, discuss various factors which must be taken into account when describing military missions, analyze the four primary types of representations used to capture mission-to-cyber relationships, and highlight the complexities of documenting cyber dependencies for the purpose of achieving mission assurance.
