Cyber Security Initiative
Abstract
The DoD Cyber Crime Center (DC3) was created as a DoD center of excellence to efficiently organize, equip, train, and employ scarce resources to more effectively address the proliferation of computer crimes affecting the DoD. DC3 has a digital forensics laboratory, training program, institute, and National Cyber Investigative Joint Task Force Analytical Group. To enable its operation, through the Defense Cyber Crime Insititute (DCCI), DC3 will leverage research into cutting edge investigative challenges within the digital forensic discipline to advance efforts aimed at security networks through the use of active sensors. DCCI conducts liaison relationships by partnering with government, university and private industry computer security officials. DCCI conducts deep dive research into metamorphic and polymorphic techniques embedded in malicious code; behavior patterns inherent to insider threat actors; and the viability of applying multiple anti-virus tools in parallel are among the efforts which have he potential to dramatically increase the ability to active sensors to detect security threats affecting DoD networks. The Intrusions/Intruders Signature Program (IISP) provides for the R&D of products and technologies that detect trace and profile hostile cyber adversaries. This capability provides network monitoring and the framework for sharing and automating reverse engineering techniques. Computer Incident Batch Oriented Recursive Examination (CIBORE) is used to aid the counterintelligence and law enforcement communities to respond to computer intrusions. It is also a data reduction tool that takes a large volume of data, identifies the known “good” and “bad” files and eliminates them from consideration, leaving several GBs of files as candidate malicious code files. This program is categorized in Budget Activity (BA) 7 because it supports the development efforts of operational systems.
