Information Dominance is the key metric in today's battlefield. Reliance on data and management of data and the accuracy and integrity of that data are paramount to mission success. Metadata enables solutions to many problems of integrity of data. As the data becomes more distributed, virtual,… More

Context affects the systems' ability to comprehend its environment and to make effective decisions based on that understanding. It is a natural tendency for independently generated reasoning systems to use separate representations, which makes each reasoning system, its inputs, and its conclusions,… More

Current network defense tools and solutions focus on situational awareness within single enclaves without regard to network mission or multi-enclave dependencies. This perspective is insufficient for supporting military networks, where time-critical mission objectives must be supported regardless… More

Insider threats have become a major issue in the search to secure our military and global infrastructure. Insiders may already have all the relevant information they need to adversely affect the state and response capabilities of our defenses. Concurrently, insiders must be engendered with some… More

Advanced Insider Threat Detection and Response is a breakthrough game changing analysis and response capability addressing integrated attacks at a fusion level 3 (identity, path, and intent). Previous efforts including the Phase 1 demonstrated that high level abstraction of network and host data is… More

The United States has expended tremendous amounts of time and effort in maintaining the capability of our most critical space assets with a high degree of fidelity despite a wide range of possible occurrences. For the most part, however, the current threat model is largely natural. It has become… More

ABSTRACT: Virtualization technologies have the capability to provide significant improvements in horizontal network scalability. There are significant challenges, however, when adapting these technologies to tactical networks, where bandwidth, latency, and connection reliability issues combine to… More

ABSTRACT: We have shown in Phase I the technology provides unique benefits in scenario metrics, what-if analysis, and action/response assessment. We have also demonstrated a Phase I prototype that validates application in the relevant domain and the remaining work required to develop a… More
