Rapid Attack Detection, Isolation and Characterization Systems (RADICS)
Description
The DoD’s Rapid Attack Detection, Isolation and Characterization Systems (RADICS) program develops innovative technologies for detecting and responding to cyberattacks on U.S. infrastructure that is essential to DoD mission effectiveness. The project focuses on early warning of impending cyberattacks, situation awareness, network isolation, and threat characterization in response to a widespread and persistent cyberattack on the power grid and its dependent systems. Technologies that could be relevant to the work include anomaly detection, planning and automated reasoning, mapping of conventional and industrial control systems networks, ad hoc network formation, analysis of industrial control systems protocols, and rapid forensic characterization of cyber threats in industrial control system devices. RENCI is part of a team led by BBN and leverages RENCI’s long-standing collaboration with the NC State FREEDM Systems Center that addresses problems related to implementing and maintaining smart power grids.
RENCI's Role
Yufeng Xin is the RENCI PI for this project.
