Information Systems Security Program

Abstract

The Community Data Center (CDC) provides research, designs, builds, tests, demonstrates, and evaluates an innovative system to analyze a significant portion of the DoD’s and associated network traffic for anomalous network behavior using unique techniques and processes. This unique capability, that addresses the massive data overload associated with analyzing network traffic and raw data, significantly improves the ability of the DoD to operate, defend, and protect its networks. The CDC research achieves this goal by using augmented and sessionized network traffic, non-traditional approaches, advanced IT algorithms, and the compiled expertise of cyber operators, analysts, investigators, and defenders to develop a near-real-time “top down” ability to view and analyze the network for the discovery, identification, and analysis of anomalous patterns of activity not humanly detectable, that could represent illegal or improper behavior, and are significant threats to the network.
