Hierarchical High Dimensional Clustering for Network Security

在数据保护和服务维护方面，网络安全是一个至关重要的领域，这反过来又影响到从金融到医药再到通信的每个行业。世界经济论坛刚刚发布了《2017年全球风险报告》，无论从可能性还是影响来看，网络攻击都是最大的风险之一；就影响而言，它被评为我们面临的最大技术风险。该项目的目的是开发一种基于软件的网络监控和安全解决方案。这一解决方案将是根据苏塞克斯大学STFC资助的研究为大型强子对撞机ATLAS实验触发系统开发的软件架构、算法和专业知识的改编。在与工业界以及进一步的软件和知识产权开发合作进行概念验证工作之后，我们将寻求商业化的途径。商业化的软件将通过防止网络攻击使英国经济中的企业受益。

Network security is an area of critical importance in terms of data protection and maintenance of services, which in turn affects every industry ranging from finance to medicine to communications. The World Economic Forum has just published "The Global Risks Report 2017" and lists cyberattacks as one of the biggest risks of any type in terms of both likelihood and impact; in terms of impact it is rated as the biggest technological risk we face.The aim of the proposed project is to develop a software-based solution for network monitoring and security. This solution would be an adaptation of the software architecture, algorithms and expertise developed for the LHC ATLAS experiment trigger system under STFC funded research at University of Sussex.Following proof-of-concept work in partnership with industry and further software and IP development we will be pursuing routes to commercialisation. The commercialised software will benefit businesses in UK economy through prevention of network attacks.
