Countering Cyber Sabotage: Introducing Consequence-Driven, Cyber-Informed Engineering (CCE) introduces a new methodology to help critical infrastructure owners, operators, and their security practitioners make demonstrable improvements in securing their most important functions and processes. Current best-practice approaches to cyber defense are lacking and struggle to capably stop targeted attacks with potentially catastrophic results. From a national security perspective, it is not just the damage to the military, the economy, or important CI companies that is a concern, but also the cumulative, downstream effects. CCE is a proven validation methodology such that engineering principles can be applied to the most important cybersecurity challenges.
