Proactive Cyber Situation Awareness via High Performance Computing

Abstract

Pythia builds on vulnerability scan data and HPC resources to provide: Quantitative network security measures to warfighters. SA of vulnerable software services, hosts, and network segments. An ability to enhance cybersecurity in an upcoming timeframe. HPC enabled over 1 billion simulation-years per hour for CoA exploration. Pythia informs risk projections: Operators can interactively explore the consequences of defensive maneuvers. Supports mission planning and analysis of alternatives for network deployment. Vulnerabilities can be reprioritized using site-specific threat intelligence.
