Geographic Surveillance and Hotspot Detection for Homeland Security: Cyber Security and Computer Network Diagnostics

Overview Securing the nation's computer networks from cyber attack is an important aspect of Homeland Security. Project develops diagnostic tools for detecting security attacks, infrastructure failures, and other operational aberrations of computer networks. They have developed models for studying the equilibrium behavior of multidimensional loss systems. The probabilistic finite state automaton (PFSA) describing a network element can be obtained from the output of these state models. A time-dependent crisis-index is determined for each network element, which measures their normal behavior pattern compared to crisis behavior.
