What do databases, program logic, business process and program management all have in common? All of these elements within a single enterprise should share the same set of terminology and conventions. There ought to be a shared, unifying foundation that logically binds all of these pieces together into one common picture. This is seldom the case, though, and that fact is one of the primary reasons why systems integration has traditionally been so costly, time consuming and ultimately unsuccessful. The alternative is Semantic Integration.
For our CCS practice we’ve already built much of the semantic foundation that underlies most generic Cyber Security scenarios. This all begins with a Taxonomy and Hierarchy of Cyber activity elements. These elements build upon one another and represent the mechanism by which Cyber attacks can be defined, patterned and predicted. Some of the elements in the Taxonomy may be familiar, others represent our unique solution approach to the problem space.
The Cyber Taxonomy also underlies and supports our unique Cyber Security Data Reference Model (DRM) which allows us to translate our semantic foundation into a data integration solution which can extend across communities of interest.
The CCS Taxonomy accommodates a novel approach for managing Cyber security based on patterns
