SERVICES

RESPONSE services provide CYBER DEFENSE CENTER members with a training, simulation, and real-world exercise repository and platform for members to collectively engage in tests to better prepare their organization's readiness to cyber threats in real time. 

RESPONSE services provide members with threat models, exercise scenarios, response playbooks, and interactive simulation environments. We know how you will be attacked, what threats you will likely be facing, and how to respond. 

The CYBER DEFENSE CENTER has also taken these concepts much further to allow our INTELLIGENCE service to pivot capabilities to defense tactics. We use state of the art defense threat models such as the popular MITRE ATT&CK Matrix for Enterprise for threat informed defense and match these threats against intelligence driven defense capabilities and our exclusive models to derive a defense posture and where you may need to prepare for or gain practice with RESPONSE.  

Our Secure Workforce Awareness Training (SWAT) allows your company to use gamified training and innovative awareness campaigns to engage your workforce in new and more effective ways. The goal is to extinct out the risky behaviors of our workforce while increasing desired and safe behaviors. The CYBER DEFENSE CENTER has adapted popular and effective organizational behavior strategies such as Antecedent Behavior Consequence (ABC) models with our Authoritative Principle (developed by the CYBER DEFENSE CENTER) to achieve workforce behavior measurement and modification like nothing you have ever experienced. 

The RESEARCH projects in this section are part of the CYBER DEFENSE CENTER research institute, Defense Center. The CYBER DEFENSE CENTER performs research activities to benefit and educate the community. Researchers can test security flaws, reverse engineer suspicious code, test collective defense capabilities, or publish statistical trend reports to help members prioritize annual defense initiatives. The past 10 years of RESEARCH has driven innovation projects such as those listed here:

Our cutting-edge OT cyber defense RESEARCH lab offers an environment for improving and testing OT defense capabilities and simulating and testing threats.  The lab offers real Wind turbine power generation,  Solar/photovoltaic (PV) power generation, Programmable logic controllers (PLC), Human machine interfaces (HMI), Distributed control systems (DCS), Remote terminal units (RTU), Pumps, Valves, Sensors, Pumps, Switches, Fans, and defense systems such as Firewalls, IDS/IPS, and new and advanced defense capabilities. We are adding Hydro power generation and Industrial Robots. 

CYBER DEFENSE CENTER RESEARCH has sponsored several AI projects that are active for innovation and incubation at FORCE LABS. These include Evil GPT, Reverse Engineering Temperature scores used by  plagiarism checking, and identifying AI generated code and content versus human generated code and content. 

CYBER DEFENSE CENTER sponsored the drone and robotics hacking village at DEFCON (Dronewarz) for several years. Our RESEARCH yielded several new CVEs, testing for sensor attacks, forensic methods that are now incorporated into FTK and other platforms, new training programs offered by EC-COUNCIL, race security and cheat testing (Sponsored by DRL and MultiGP), and vulnerability/pen-testing. Although no longer at DEFCON, Dronewarz is still a program of CYBER DEFENSE CENTER and drone and robotics hacking and games reside at FORCE LABS. The Skyjacker I and II projects are deprecated, Skyjacker III is seeking a research sponsor. The Games are also open for additional research sponsorship. Research was also sponsored by Whitefox Drone Defense, Fat Shark, R00tz, Ettus Research, Drone Pilot Ground School, EC-Council, Set Solutions, and Novetta Research (now part of Accenture). 

CYBER DEFENSE CENTER is actively sponsoring a RESEARCH project called Micr0wav3, which is a mobile pentesting kit designed to scan and test microwave communications. This specialized security testing capability will look at open and encrypted microwave wireless signals and stations for weaknesses and security control testing. Castle Rock Microwave is sponsoring this new capability to ensure it is build within FCC rules and regulations.   

CYBER DEFENSE CENTER is sponsoring and building a new offensive capability for RESEARCH,  Micr0wav3. As this testing capability evolves, the need for better defense will also emerge. Wave Guides is a theoretical microwave defense capability that can be deployed along side these communications platforms. Wave Guides may also be adapted for LTE and 4/5G communications and tower infrastructure security. This incubation initiative seeks to become an innovation project if technically feasible and funded.  

CYBER DEFENSE CENTER is actively sponsoring a RESEARCH project that will be published at breachreports.org - Breach Reports are essential when researching, monitoring, and cataloging threats to communities, critical infrastructure, and the country. This innovation project focuses on creating a new catalog of historical breach reports by aggregating data from several sources with new and innovative criteria for analytics.  

CYBER DEFENSE CENTER is building a new program based on historical RESEARCH, Alertnetwork.org - The CYBER DEFENSE CENTER is deigning a new public/private sector alert network for cyber defense force posture readiness alerts, news, and member advisories. This Information Sharing service includes several partners to provide members with threat intelligence that surpasses open-source providers and current sector information security and analysis centers. 

CYBER DEFENSE CENTER is building attack5.com based on historical RESEARCH - The CYBER DEFENSE CENTER is developing new technology platform to assess defense capabilities for detection, prevention, and intervention in real time. Intervention readiness reveals a company's readiness to engage an active threat rather than simply responding to threats that have already occurred. The goal is to measure intervention and the incident response team's ability to disrupt an attack. This incubation initiative seeks to design the new attack5 TESTING platform. 

CYBER DEFENSE CENTER is building cloudstrike.org based on historical RESEARCH - The CYBER DEFENSE CENTER has designed a new hybrid cloud testing capability, Cloud Strike. Designed to attack and test resources and services across multiple cloud platforms, this new incubation initiative identifies an integrated approach to fulfill this potential innovation project goal. CloudStrike may or may not be integrated into the attack5 platform.  

CYBER DEFENSE CENTER is building and incubating stealthstrike.org and rapidstrikes.com based on historical RESEARCH - The CYBER DEFENSE CENTER has designed a new service to test wartime attack simulations as part of or independent of the new attack5 platform. Wartime attack motives such as Espionage, Social, Economic, Sabotage, Disruption, and Domain Control are not part of current penetration testing playbooks. Stealth Strike and Rapid Strikes builds out this new capability.  

CYBER DEFENSE CENTER is building and incubating exploit5.com based on historical RESEARCH - This historical RESEARCH has already yielded a capability model to provide a comprehensive view of cyber defense capabilities and functional performance that elevates existing cyber operations to a new plain of defense decision support.  Exploit5, as part of the attack5 platform, is being incubated to test the effectiveness of participantdefenses at nearly any layer of the technology architecture.  This is a new type of Red Teaming and Pen testing that includes wartime exploits.
