Military commanders often operate in a physical mission space, while system
administrators work in a virtual cyber space. Each group in their own space may not fully
understand the interactions between the two spaces. This research takes a look at the role that
computer security has in assuring that missions are completed effectively, such that the computer
network supports the missions. A modular modeling framework is presented.
This research is sponsored by AFRL under agreement number FA8750-10-2-0245.
