whitepaper Mathematical and Statistical Opportunities in Cyber Security2009-03-01 Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
  The role of mathematics in a complex system such as the Internet has yet to be deeply explored. This paper summarizes some of the important and pressing problems in cyber security from the viewpoint of open science environments. The author starts by posing the question "What fundamental problems exist within cyber security research that can be helped by advanced mathematics and statistics?" The first and most important assumption is that access to real-world data is necessary to understand large and complex systems like the Internet. The second assumption is that many proposed cyber security solutions could critically damage both the openness and the productivity of scientific research.

whitepaper Increasing Cyber Security Readiness With Adaptive Threat Management: Essential Insights for Strengthening the Federal Response to Cyber Attacks2009-03-01 Juniper Networks
  The U.S. Federal Government depends on the vast array of systems and networks in cyberspace to support all aspects of their operations. Unfortunately, this dependence on cyberspace leaves agencies vulnerable to cyber attacks. Threats are growing in number and sophistication, originating from both domestic and foreign sources and encompassing intentional attacks as well as inadvertent causes. Despite ongoing investments in security products, many federal IT managers feel their infrastructure is inadequate for combating rapidly evolving threats and for ensuring compliance with government mandates and directives. By leveraging existing network infrastructures, Juniper Networks Adaptive Threat Management Solutions enable federal agencies to realize a greater return on their security investment, reducing TCO while boosting cyber security, compliance and continuity of operations.
