A Bro Center of Expertise for the NSF Community

BRO是一个开源的网络安全监控器(NSM)，全国许多NSF社区都使用它来保护他们的网络基础设施。该项目建立了一个BRO专业知识中心，作为这些社区利用BRO技术和专业知识的中心联络点。该活动接触到较小的NSF项目和社区，帮助他们以最具成本效益和可持续的方式使用BRO来保护其基础设施。这项活动将BRO推广为这些社区的一种全面、低成本的安全能力；就BRO安装的所有方面提供指导和支持。该项目设计了部署和集成的参考方案；并开发了迎合NSF环境的新技术能力。该项目支持现有的BRO用户优化和扩展他们的设置，并使BRO的功能可用于缺乏资源的新站点和项目，以有效地自行部署BRO。在技术层面上，该项目是Bro开源开发的焦点，维护其代码库和文档。对于研究界来说，该项目通过利用BRO作为部署平台，充当将网络研究成果转化为实践的促进者。

Bro is an open source network security monitor (NSM) utilized by many NSF communities nationwide to protect their cyberinfrastructure. This project establishes a Bro Center of Expertise as a central point of contact for these communities to leverage Bro technology and expertise expertise. The activity reaches out to smaller NSF projects and communities helping them to use Bro in the most cost-effective and sustainable way to protect their infrastructures.This activity promotes Bro as a comprehensive, low-cost security capability for these communities; providing guidance and support on all aspects of a Bro installation. The project devises reference scenarios for deployment and integration; and develops novel technical capabilities that cater to NSF environments. The project supports existing Bro users in optimizing and extending their setups, and makes Bro's capabilities available to new sites and projects that lack the resources to deploy Bro effectively on their own. At a technical level, the project is the focal point of Bro's open-source development, maintaining its code base and documentation. To the research community, the project acts as a facilitator for transitioning networking research results into practice by leveraging Bro as a deployment platform.
