Creating a science to detect and model cyberattacks and the risk and motivations behind them, and creating a response that can counter the attack and neutralize the cyberattackers in real time, is the aim of a cooperative agreement between the Army Research Laboratory and Penn State.
The five-year funding for the core and enhanced program is $23.2 million, with an additional $25 million for the optional five-year extension — a potential total of $48.2 million over the 10-year collaboration.
“We’re going to develop a new science of understanding how to make security-relevant decisions in cyberspace,” said Patrick D. McDaniel, professor of computer science and engineering and principal investigator on the project. “Essentially, we’re looking to create predictive models that allow us to make real-time decisions that will lead to mission success.”
