Information Systems Security Program

Abstract

The Community Data Center (CDC) researches, designs, builds, tests, demonstrates, and evaluates an innovative system to analyze a significant portion of the DoD’s and partner network traffic for anomalous network behavior using unique techniques and processes. This unique analysis capability addresses the massive data overload associated with analyzing network traffic and raw data, and significantly improves the ability of the DoD to operate, defend, and protect its networks. The CDC research achieves the goal of operating, defending, and protecting the network, 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.

Change Summary Explanation
This funding supported Audit Management, Continuous Monitoring Risk Scoring and the CDC for preventing insider threat activities. The funding was used to construct the data integration, correlation, reduction, and analysis capabilities within the CDC supporting the audit event analysis and log aggregation as well as the Cross Domain Enterprise Solution defensive requirements. The FY 2012 decrease of -$0.252 supports higher Agency priorities.
