This report describes the Cyber Forces Interactions Terrain (Cyber-FIT) Version 4, a simulation framework for computationally modeling cyber team performance. The projection of cyber mission forces into contested environments, and the simulation of the desired effects is very difficult. Military cyber teams are routinely deployed into environments with contested cyber terrain, but little is known about how well they performed. Cyber security training is already resource intensive in terms of both formal education and certification programs, yet cyber readiness and aptitude remain elusive to define. Cyber-FIT aims to help address these problems by computationally defining the performance measures of cyber teams. This model intends to be comprehensive and extensible. It is object oriented and modular in nature so new measures can be added over time without re-architecting the lowest level agent interactions currently in place allowing for new concepts and technological advances.
