Abstract: A method, apparatus, and system provide the ability to act on cyber risks and reduce cyber attacks. System characteristics and system information for a cyber system are gathered. The system characteristics and system information are preprocessed to identify vulnerabilities that are relevant to the cyber system. A system model of a cyber environment is generated for the cyber system. One or more features are converted from cyber threat reports to one or more semantically relevant queries over the system model. The system model is reasoned over to generate one or more answers relevant to the one or more semantically relevant queries. Attack models are executed over the system model to generate actionable intelligence and reduce cyber attacks.

Abstract: A non-invasive system and method are provided. Brain activity of a user is detected using a non-invasive brain interface when the user is exposed to an external stimulus. The user is determined to be negatively primed by the external stimulus based on the detected brain activity. An alert that the user is being negatively primed by the external stimulus is automatically provided. A tagged training session may be automatically provided to the user in response determining that the user has a negative mental state, thereby promoting a positive mental state of the user. A training session list containing the tagged training session may be automatically modified based on the determined mental state of the user.
