US early warning centre opens
Cyber Incident Detection Data Analysis Center announces the opening of its National Operations Center at the University of Pennsylvania.
The Cyber Incident Detection Data Analysis Center
(CIDDAC) has announced the opening of its National
Operations Center at the University of Pennsylvania.
The non-profit organization aims to set up an automated
real-time threat reporting system, which will enable it to
issue early warning alerts to its member companies and
provide information to law enforcement agencies. The
Center will gather data from its member companies via a
network of intrusion monitoring machines known as
Real-time Cyber Attack Detection Sensors. As soon as a
threat is detected CIDDAC will issue an alert to member
organizations and law enforcement agencies. Crucially, the
identity of the reporting companies will remain confidential.
Enterprise-level membership of CIDDAC is priced at
$10,000 per annum. See http://www.ciddac.org/.
