SGER: National Malware Collaboratory Investigation (NMCI)

该项目正在开展一系列活动，旨在探索和催化创建国家恶意软件合作实验室国家恶意软件合作实验室汇集了两个协同创新？一个全国性的分布式网络基础设施和一个催化性的学术/行业/政府联合体？为了给国家提供数量级的改进？S防御网络恶意软件。合作实验室认识到恶意软件威胁的性质发生了变化：从昨天到S，简单的蠕虫和病毒变成了多态、可进化、广谱的攻击。它认识到恶意软件威胁的目标不断扩大，从昨天的S网络服务器到今天的S关键的金融网络、SCADA系统和国家安全基础设施。它通过为学术界、产业界和政府创造一个环境和结构来应对这些挑战，以参与大规模、主动、协作的恶意软件防御研究，并迅速将研究成果转化为实际开发和部署。目前，该项目正在开展三项对建立NMC至关重要的早期活动：1)对NMC-CI本身的技术结构至关重要的研究、设计和设计验证。重点包括不同模式下的分布式资源所有权和联邦以及不同的安全策略；通过受控的互联网访问和动态配置进行安全遏制。2)识别、细化和记录由NMC支持的研究议程和方法，与将从合作实验室中受益并参与其中的研究和行业社区合作。3)结构规划和初步推广，以建立合作实验室，早期创始成员来自政府、工业和学术界。

This project is carrying out a series of activities intended to explore and catalyze the creation of a National Malware Collaboratory The National Malware Collaboratory brings together two synergistic innovations ? a national-scale distributed cyberinfrastructure and a catalytic academic/industry/government consortium ? to provide order-of-magnitude improvement to the nation?s defenses against cyber-malware.The Collaboratory recognizes the changing nature of the malware threat: from yesterday?s simple worms and viruses to polymorphic, evolvable, broad-spectrum attacks. It recognizes the expanding target of the malware threat, from yesterday?s web servers to today?s critical financial networks, SCADA systems, and national security infrastructure. It responds to these challenges by creating an environment and structure for academia, industry, and government to engage in large-scale, proactive, collaborative malware defense research, and to rapidly transition research results to practical development and deployment.Currently the project is carrying out three early activities central to the establishment of the NMC:1) Research, design, and design validation critical to the technical structure of the NMC-CI itself. Key foci include distributed resource ownership & federation under different models with varying security policies; secure containment with controlled Internet access, and dynamic configuration.2) Identification, refinement and documentation of the research agenda and methodologies enabled by the NMC, working with research and industry communities who stand to benefit from and participate in the Collaboratory. 3) Structural planning and preliminary outreach to establish the Collaboratory, with early founding members from government, industry, and academia.
