Cyber Situational Awareness Abstract: Every day major companies and government agencies sustain breaches to their information infrastructure. Some individual organization may record a million events per day from firewalls and intrusion detection systems. There are specialists
devoted to sifting through that data to identify the most serious attacks and suspicious activities amidst the alerts. This
presentation will review state-of-the-art technologies that enhance the situational awareness of these cyber defense
analysts. Information about the cognitive components of situational awareness will be presented. Further I will review
technologies that enhance situational awareness, including technologies for collecting and analyzing security and visually
representing it. Finaly, examples will be presented on how to identify suspicious insider activity by combining data from
network and physical security sensors, and on how to gain insight into the business impact of security incidents from
network data.
Bio: Anita D'Amico, Ph.D. is the Director of Secure Decisions, a division of Applied Visions. She is both a human factors psychologist and an information security specialist. Her specialty area is cyber defense situational awareness, particularly improving cyber defense decision-making through visualization.
Prior to joining Applied Visions, Dr. D'Amico was the founder and head of Information Warfare at Northrop Grumman, the fourthlargest defense contractor in the US. She led a major activity to develop a system for forecasting coordinated cyber attacks on military networks. She also led the Electronic Industries Association study of future Information Warfare tactics to be used in 2010 warfare.
In addition to directing Secure Decisions' business, Dr. D'Amico also acts as principal investigator on a number of our research efforts with the Department of Defense, including a DARPA program to create visualizations of the mission and business impact of cyber security breaches.
Dr. D'Amico holds a Ph.D. and MA in Psychology from Adelphi University, with a focus in Human Factors and Cognitive Psychology. |
