Summary	The Department of Defense maintains approximately 15,000 networks incorporating on the order of 7 million computers that are attacked approximately 50,000 times per day. Among these assets are databases containing high value information, which must be protected from adversarial exploits. Standard best practices in system security management provide considerable protection, yet for high-value information, many risks are unknown. The objective of the proposed work is to conduct analyses of risks associated with large data sets. The analyses will include examination of techniques that would permit unauthorized access to data; methods to extract high value data; identification and parameterization of metadata in support of data extraction; identification of issues associated with multi-domain use of data, and estimation of exposure costs for selected sets of high value information.
