Charles River Analytics has secured funds from the U.S. Navy to create an approach that will work to help users incorporate cybersecurity features on system components.
The Cybersecurity Assessment and Risk Enumeration for Systems, or CARES, approach will enumerate an attack space and automatically yield security gaps and recommendations through the use of systemic functional grammars, the company said Tuesday.
The method will also help mitigate cyberattacks and carry out risk assessment for systems that are in the design phase.
“During the system design stage, designers and cyber analysts need detailed information to accurately assess and model cybersecurity,†said Daniel Mitchell, principal investigator for the CARES project and senior software engineer at Charles River.
