    Toward interdisciplinary practice and increased social ROI: a case study on downstream effects of integrating UX in cyber system design
    (2024-01-03) Ramelot, Justine; Azevedo, Daniela; Legay, Axel; Kieffer, Suzanne
    Cyber ranges~(CR) have gained attention from researchers and trainees for their virtualization and replication capabilities. The growing focus on improving the user experience~(UX) with CR aligns with the emphasis on software usability and user acceptance in software development. This case study explores the integration of UX activities, namely expert review and prototyping workshops, in a cybersecurity project aiming at supporting the creation of CR scenarios. Survey and interviews allowed us to both assess participants' UX literacy and identify opportunities and barriers to UX integration. Introducing UX activities increased UX literacy and helped foster a productive and collaborative interdisciplinary team environment.

    Multi-Shield Cyber Security Visualization - a tool to enhance cybersecurity design and analysis
    (2024-01-03) Moore, Erik; Fulton, Steven; Garramone, Vincent; Likarish, Daniel
    Multi-Shield Cybersecurity Visualization (MSCV) is a method designed to increase attention on and understanding of critical relationships when designing and analyzing cybersecurity infrastructure. It can be used in conjunction with the Zero Trust Reference Architecture (ZTRA) or any other security reference architectures. It provides a way of visualizing security control services at a higher layer of abstraction than traditional network connection diagramming or hierarchical service modeling. It was developed using a classical Eulerian approach to solving topological problems by formulating definitions, rules and a topological system for analyzing security controls, along with direct observation of cyber defense practices. The goal of MSCV is to ensure that all security services are implemented at a higher level of resilience than their individual capabilities. Examples of MSCV visualization are provided.
