SILAS and SAaaS: Update on my R&D work

I am currently working on two new R&D areas:




• SILAS (Security Intelligence-as-a-Service): this R&D work aims to build a service that provides strategic metrics and risk assessment to customers (potentially in a federated SOC environment). It gathers information from the IT infrastructure (including SIM/SEM solution, e.g. HP ArcSight, HP TippingPoint, etc.) and uses it to provide statistical analysis, support predictive risk assessment and what-if scenario analysis (via HP Security Analytics), as well as trends and benchmarking across customers. Security Analytics (predictive) models are instantiated with the data collected from the field, to provide accurate predictions and animate what-if scenarios;



• SAaaS Demonstrator (Situational Awareness-as-a-Service): this demonstrator will showcase advanced scenarios and capabilities related to information sharing and situational awareness in a cloud context, specifically in the context of cyber security. Advanced GUI and back-end capabilities are under development. The demonstrator will also be used as a context where to further carry out research in the context of the CSL Safe Cloud R&D project.

I welcome input, material and case studies of relevance to the above two areas.
