Artificial Intelligence
design a formal evaluation study which could be used to obtain more information about one or more of the following: o characteristics (features and capabilities) of the technology o interactions among technologies, people, environments, and processes (use cases or scenarios) o risks or vulnerabilities associated with adoption of this technology o costs and benefits associated with adoption of this technology Choose Your Evaluation Method Your evaluation study design must use one of the following: o Case Study o Delphi Study (panel of subject matter experts) o Quasi-Experiment (e.g. penetration testing or pilot testing in a controlled environment) o Pilot Implementation (in a demonstration environment) See the Technology Evaluation Methods module in the Week 2 conference for detailed descriptions of each of these types of evaluation methods. Design Your Study Identify the specific questions that your formal evaluation study will address. These questions must be security-focused and should address: threats, vulnerabilities, attacks, countermeasures, risks, risk mitigations, etc. Your design should include a description of the specific security issues which will be tested or security capabilities which will be evaluated. Use standard terminology when writing about security issues (see the rubric). Develop Your Evaluation Study Plan Use your study design to prepare a high-level plan for your evaluation study. Your plan must include the following: o Introduction description of the emerging technology and justification for including it in an evaluation study o Research Question(s) These must be security focused (i.e. focused on cybersecurity objectives such as confidentiality, integrity, availability, etc.) and should address: threats, vulnerabilities, attacks, countermeasures, risks, risk mitigations, etc. Use “how” or “what” questions (writing good “why” questions is beyond the scope of this course). Examples What vulnerabilities exist that could be attacked to compromise confidentiality? How could an attacker compromise availability? For each research question, provide a brief description of a scenario or use case which could be used to answer the question. Your description should be one paragraph (no longer).
