Abstract
The proliferation of network-centric warfare capabilities has led to a greater need to define and understand cyber networks. Critical systems and information sources maintained on such networks are lucrative targets for terrorists, foreign governments, criminal organizations, and competitive businesses. The very same technology that enables efficient communications and conduct within military, government and business communities enables hostile individuals and organizations to identify and exploit vulnerabilities within secure computer networks. Protecting and maintaining these networks is inherently more challenging when compared to traditional information and communication networks.
