title = "What To Do First: Ranking The Mission Impact Graph for Effective Mission Assurance",
abstract = "Network attacks continue to pose threats to missions in cyber space. To prevent critical missions from getting impacted or minimize the possibility of mission impact, active cyber defense is very important. Mission impact graph is a graphical model that enables mission impact assessment and shows how missions can be possibly impacted by cyber attacks. Although the mission impact graph provides valuable information, it is still very difficult for human analysts to comprehend due to its size and complexity. Especially when given limited resources, human analysts cannot easily decide which security measures to take first with respect to mission assurance. Therefore, this paper proposes to apply a ranking algorithm towards the mission impact graph so that the huge amount of information can be prioritized. The actionable conditions that can be managed by security admins are ranked with numeric values. The rank enables efficient utilization of limited resources and provides guidance for taking security countermeasures.",
