Argus – the Audit Record Generation and Utilization System is the first implementation of network flow monitoring, and is an ongoing open source network flow monitor project. Started by Carter Bullard in 1984 at Georgia Tech, and developed for cyber security at Carnegie Mellon University in the early 1990s, Argus has been an important ...
The design makes it highly suited for persistent, long-term mass surveillance operations against targets. [ 15 ] [ 16 ] Regin is stealthy and does not store multiple files on the infected system; instead it uses its own encrypted virtual file system (EVFS) entirely contained within what looks like a single file with an innocuous name to the ...
Prelude SIEM provides multiple tools to do forensic reporting on Big Data and Smart Data to identify weak signals and Advanced Persistent Threats (APT). Prelude SIEM also embeds all tools for the exploitation phase to make work easier for operators and help them with risk management .
Threat intelligence platforms [3] are made up of several primary feature areas [4] that allow organizations to implement an intelligence-driven security approach. These stages are supported by automated workflows that streamline the threat detection, management, analysis, and defensive process and track it through to completion:
