Porting and Integration of a User Focused Network Hygiene System into Beauceron Security Inc.'s Cloud-based Cyber Risk Assessment Service

该项目的技术目标是将网络卫生服务添加到加拿大公司Beauceron Security Inc.开发的新型基于云的服务中，以测量和降低企业的网络风险。Beauceron正在向New Brunswick Community College - Mobile First Technology Initiative （NBCC-MFTI）寻求帮助，以：(1)确认其架构和方法适合将Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync和/或Microsoft MDM与Netflix Stethscope集成，(2)开发实现这种集成的插件。预期的结果是，开源软件Netflix听诊器提供的网络卫生功能将被添加到Beauceron的服务产品中。最终转让给Beauceron的技术将是听诊器的模块化版本，这将有效地扩展Beauceron目前的系统，以提供网络卫生服务。Beauceron获得的收益将通过新的网络卫生服务为他们的技术增加价值，从而增加收入潜力。NBCC-MFTI将获得网络安全方面的新能力，并与新不伦瑞克省这一重要领域的公司建立关系。应用网络安全研究学科积累的收益将是网络风险和威胁减少能力的新组合，以及对该组合对企业的收益进行实证研究的潜力。

The technical objective of this project is to add network hygiene services to the novel cloud-based services developed by Canadian company Beauceron Security Inc. that measure and reduce cyber risk in enterprises. Beauceron is seeking assistance from the New Brunswick Community College - Mobile First Technology Initiative (NBCC-MFTI) to (1) confirm that its architecture and approach is suitable for integrating Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync and/or Microsoft MDM with Netflix Stethscope and (2) to develop a plugin that implements this integration. The expected outcome is for network hygiene functionality offered by the open source software Netflix Stethoscope to be added to Beauceron's service offerings. The resulting technology transferred to Beauceron will be a modularized version of Stethoscope that will in effect extend Beauceron's current system to offer network hygiene services. The benefits accrued to Beauceron will be added value to their technology through new network hygiene services and, thereby, an increase in the revenue potential. The benefits accrued to the NBCC-MFTI will be new competencies in cyber security and establishment of a relationship with a company in this vital sector for New Brunswick. The benefits accrued to the discipline of applied cyber security research will be a novel combination of cyber risk and threat reduction capabilities, and the potential to perform empirical research on the benefits of that combination for enterprises.
