Today the "cyber threat" is one of our most serious economic and national security challenges. But our lack of empirically grounded understanding of the structure, dynamics, and scope of vulnerabilities of the global Internet renders this challenge virtually intractable. In this talk, we examine the emerging field of cyber-cartography: what kind of maps of the Internet do we need, and what problems do they solve? What capabilities are required to construct which maps, and what blocks progress on development of these capabilities? We'll provide examples of applied mapping research and development activities at various levels of maturity, including those that support detection of internet security and stability weaknesses. By the end of this talk you will learn at least five ways that you personally can participate in the field of cybercartography.
