"Adaptive cyber security decision support to prevent cyber attacks"
The University of Nottingham is leading the development of a new system, which will be in support of organizations in the maintenance of sufficient cybersecurity levels. The digital ‘Online Cyber Security System’ decision support service (OCYSS) is the system that has been designed to speedily gather information on system vulnerabilities and warn organizations that may possibly be affected by such vulnerabilities. Support from this system will be provided through a consistently updated and semi-automatic security assessment of the organizations’ digital infrastructures in order to quickly identify system vulnerabilities. This article further discusses the support and research behind the development of the OCYSS, goals of this system, and cybersecurity challenges faced in the UK that are expected to be addressed by the new system.
