Mission Areas

Transformer tower
Sandia tools help protect network systems.

 

DETECT AND RESPOND TO CYBER ATTACKS

Sandia's tools for early detection of threats can lead to quick intervention—and minimized damage.

Visualization

Detection illustration–anomaly detection, cyber response, vulnerability scanning, profiling, countermeasures

Sandia provides an array of visualization tools:

Detecting anomalies

Sandia’s transactional logging and anomaly detection system allows real-time analysis of abnormal traffic patterns and creates an easily searchable log of all network sessions.

Additional capabilities include:

Thwarting attackers

After observing suspicious traffic, the Adaptive Network Countermeasures (ANC) system injects deceptive packets into the network to confuse attackers.

Conducting forensics and attribution

Sandia offers traffic mapping tools (NetState, transactional logging) to facilitate attribution, and the ANC tool helps determine the “intent” of the attacker.

Sandia also gathers cyber evidence, performs application-specific reverse engineering and session regeneration, and maintains a malicious code testbed to aid forensics.
