Protecting MoD systems from sophisticated threats is an increasing challenge in a networked world. This Centre for Defence Enterprise (CDE) SBRI competition focuses upon novel approaches to Cyber Defence with particular emphasis on the challenges of: Enhanced Situational Awareness, Advanced Intruder Detection, Decision Support for Cyber Defence, and Co-operative working for Cyber Defence.
The MOD through this competition is looking for innovative proposals that when combined will span these 4 specific areas:
• Enhanced Situational Awareness (ESA) will focus on the ability of tools and techniques that allow computer network defence operators to dynamically query a distributed information repository and visualise the results in support of agile risk based decision-making.
• Countering Sophisticated Attacks (CSA) will focus on the ability to detect and report previously unreported computer network attacks in real-time.
• Decision Support for Network Defence (DSCD) will focus upon innovative ways of exploring the impact that a computer network attack can have at the business process level.
• Co-operative working for Network Defence (CWCD) will focus upon novel information sharing and interaction paradigms that facilitate agile risk based decision-making.
A seminar is to be held on September 9th 2010 to provide potential applicants with further information on the challenge area and the opportunity to ask further questions regarding the context. To register, please see:
