Abstract

In this project, we are developing a reference architecture and prototype that enables rapid deployment of a method intended to automatically, accurately, and adaptively classify and prioritize alerts. Our research on reference architectures will enable DoD organizations to become more efficient by (1) reducing their adjudication workload by at least 60% and (2) focusing their manual validation efforts on truly dangerous code flaws in the remaining 40% of alerts.
