TDoS is a form of DoS that affects government, enterprise, and small business voice systems. It is the most significant threat to voice systems and by far the most likely form of voice-based DoS. TDoS attackers use SIP, free IP-PBXs, call generators, and spoofed calling numbers to cheaply and anonymously flood their victims with calls. The attackers have the advantage, because attacks are easy to ...

First responders use of portable electronic devices including cell phones and radios has increased dramatically over the past decade and will continue to grow with the introduction of new visual augmentation systems, wearable sensors, and mobile computing systems being developed under the DHS Next Generation First Responder (NGFR) Apex program. The large number of powered devices, each with their ...

Knowledge is empowering! Organizations equipped with timely cyber risk and defense knowledge are in a much better position to properly quantify and react to cyber risks. Surprisingly, many organizations are still poorly prepared with the needed information, experiences, and best practices to effectively combat sophisticated cyber threats.The Cyber Risk Collaboration & Knowledge Tool (CRiCKeT) is a ...

The increasing number of breaches and hacks against organizations demands new and more effective ways to provide defense. Currently, most defense activities, such as monitoring, analysis, forensics, and remediation are done within house. This is unfortunate because the external knowledge and experience of others outside the organization cannot easily be leveraged. Our proposal focuses on the desig ...

Cybersecurity risk management in complicated and dynamic environment is challenging. On one hand, cybersecurity knowledge management is complex and needs to be updated promptly with continuously emerging cybersecurity attacks and risks. The companies have to select fuse a lot of input data with their own experience for cybersecurity risk management. On the other hand, while the same or similar vul ...

WGS Systems LLC (WGS) proposes the Detector Integration with Current and Emerging Networked Systems (DICENS) research and engineering effort to develop relevant communications protocols, application programming interfaces, and interface control documentation to allow legacy and emerging radiation detection systems to be integrated into current and emerging networked systems.Radiation and nuclear ( ...
