Based on the idea that offensive cyber operations should be studied and merge from the darkness in which they typically hide, Grant and his colleagues embarked on a research program to explore the potential answers to the question, " What resources would be needed by a Cyber Security Operations Centre in order to perform offensive cyber operations?". The analysis was performed, using as a springboard seven models of cyber-attack, and resulted in the development of what is described as a canonical model.
