Program Purpose:

The objective of this project is to research and develop novel methods and technologies for the accuratex000D
identification of the presence of Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs), specifically in the case of an attacker thatx000D
is using a host computer at the same time as the legitimate user, using the legitimate user's credentials.x000D
The project will explore the use of artificial intelligence / machine learning techniques in conjunction withx000D
other methods (Bayesian, causal, rule, etc.) to significantly improve early APT detection.
