Transforming complex data into actionable insights - We augment analysts' ability to transform complex data into actionable insight through the design, implementation, and application of data visualization, machine learning, and scalable data management. With a particular focus on national security, we apply our custom-built systems to data-rich challenges of national significance.
Emerging Cyber Systems Research
Emerging Cyber Systems Research
Findings from research into various "Internet of Things" devices uses for residences can be applied to other autonomous sensing and defense needs. Through a learning process called federation, previously unknown attacks learned in one environment can be transferred to other environments, so the system autonomously improves its defenses over time.
