Systems () and methods () for enterprise mission management of a Computer Network ('CN'). The methods involve configuring CN to operate in accordance with a first Mission Plan ('MP') specifying a manner in which an assigned value for a first IDentity Parameter (&#x201c;IDP&#x201d;) is to be dynamically modified by a first node of CN; detecting a trigger event which indicates that a new MP needs to be implemented within CN; obtaining a second MP that specifies a manner in which an assigned value for a second IDP is to be dynamically modified by a second node of CN; determining if any conflicts exist between operations of the second node defined by the second MP and operations of the first node defined by the first MP; and configuring operations of CN to further operate in accordance with the second MP if it is determined that no conflict exists.

Systems and methods for enterprise mission management of a computer network

Method for communicating in a computer network from a first node () in the network to a second node (), not in the network. A virtual identity is selected for the first node. The virtual identity is comprised of one or more session identity parameters used for representing the first node during a static communication session with the second node. The session identity parameters used during the static communication session are excluded from a coordinated variation of identity parameters for nodes within the network. In response to determining an occurrence of at least one communication security threat with respect to the static communication session, the method further involves adaptively modifying the virtual identity assigned to the first node by changing at least one of the session identity parameters.

Session hopping

Method for communicating in a computer network from a first node () in the network to a second node (), not in the network. A virtual identity is manually selected for the first node. The virtual identity is comprised of one or more session identity parameters used for representing the first node during a static communication session with the second node. The session identity parameters used during the static communication session are excluded from a coordinated variation of identity parameters for nodes within the network. In response to determining an occurrence of at least one communication security threat with respect to the static communication session, the method further involves adaptively modifying the virtual identity assigned to the first node by changing at least one of the session identity parameters.
