Cyber Technology Collaboration Forum
Jun  

Mr. Smith presented CXI at a Cyber Technology Collaboration Forum hosted by the USAF Electronic Systems Center at Hanscom AFB. ESC's goal was to bring the operational user and the AF cyber R&D community together, at the O-6/GS-15 level, to expose and review cyber tech initiatives/projects for preliminary operator feedback. Specifically, it was focused on the AFNetOps execution elements (67 NWW, AFIOC) hearing what ESC, AFRL and others are working on.

     
Mar Impending Field Tests at select Federal Cyber Defense Forensic labs

 

  Cyber SPK, LLC soon to ship two products for field tests at select federal Cyber Defense Forensic Labs. Tests will determine fitness for prospective product deployment.

1.  Cyber eXploit Identikit (CXI)
     (An always-on utility operating in the background)
     CXI provides real-time digital forensic monitoring and logging of crucial system changes that can affect security and stability. Select a past date then move forward, step by step, and see every process created or select one process and see every child process it creates from start to completion. Also reports executable files recently installed that are set to auto-run regardless of whether they were intended installations, unintended installations, or hidden malware attacks. 

2.  Install Discovery+
     (An on-demand tool)    
     Install Discovery+ reports the details of changes made to a system during software installation. Unlike common installation trackers that use snapshots, use ID+ to tag a selected setup file and log every process and child process it launches and follow it to completion providing the most precise detail yet.

Interested parties are invited to contact dirk@CyberSPK.com.
