Welcome to C3E. This is an analytic workshop as much as it is a cyber security workshop. Though the problems in cyber security are many and various, and the types of expertise required to address them are equally various, we are concerned with a very specific part of the problem space: how do we enable smart real-time decision making in cyberspace. Several assumptions influence our approach to addressing this problem. Cyberspace is fast moving, so decisions need be instantaneous. Cyberspace is complex, so cyber analytics will work with very large data sets. Cyberspace is constantly changing, and our understanding of that space must be continuously updated. Finally, there is the assumption that gives our workshop its name: cyberspace is compromised, so our analysis must be undertaken in full recognition of that adversarial dimension. All this points to a need for novel approaches to human machine collaboration to support real-time decision making in cyberspace. That is the objective of this workshop. We look forward to your contribution.

The workshop, which will include approximately 60 distinguished participants from academia, industry, and government, will convene at the Hotel Mar Monte in Santa Barbara on Tuesday morning, 17 August and will conclude Thursday afternoon, 19 August. Hotel Mar Monte, a classic seaside hotel, is one of Santa Barbara’s finest and will provide an excellent setting for our workshop.
