Advanced Cyber Security & Threat Detection
The U.S. defense and intelligence communities are undergoing a revolution in operations, driven largely by network-centric technologies. In today’s global environment, war fighters, analysts and decision makers are not only geographically dispersed but are also very likely to reside in multiple security domains. There have been reports of serious compromises in United States Air Force, Army, and State Department networks by organizations and nation states that are openly hostile to the United States. These examples show that determined and sophisticated adversaries can circumvent current computer network defense technologies and compromise DoD networks without fear of detection. The national security implications of these cyber attacks are significant. KBSI has leveraged its capabilities in semantic search and threat detection in developing a number of technologies that address these cyber security issues.
Conventional military threats--such as a missile command posts, an armored division, a naval task force, or an air wing--can be reliably detected by reconnaissance satellites and other technical collection assets. The costs for delivering this capability, however, is significant, and the technological sophistication of the detection systems make them time consuming to build. KBSI has extensive experience in developing innovative technologies for pattern discovery and monitoring that can be applied to a variety of threat detection arenas. These include:
 |
a dashboard that provides automation support for 24/7 asymmetric threat assessment from open-source data; |
|
an automated system for Deep Semantic Extraction (DSE); and |
|
a system, currently in development, that is capable of using open-source data to identify and model networks of hostile activities. |
