This article was authored on behalf of Booz Allen Hamilton by Winfield Arnott, Joseph Bull, Chris Christou, Tyler Duquette, Emre Ertekin, Michael Lundberg, Michael McAlister, and Greg Starkey. Booz Allen Hamilton advocates for open sourcing solutions such as this to further advance SDN and the forensics tradecraft. We are the lead developer of Project Jellyfish, an open source cloud broker and orchestration tool. As an evolution of Project Jellyfish, Booz Allen has integrated the Open Source Open Day Light (ODL) controller into the broker to automate compute and network provisioning within the cloud. Further, we are currently leading an ODL-based effort to develop an automated cyber threat response capability.

A key enabler of these malicious attacks is system and network misconfiguration, which remains a major cause of information technology (IT) infrastructure vulnerabilities.  Large-scale cyber-attacks continue to make headlines around the world. While data breaches can have catastrophic and costly consequences, hackers can also cause havoc by interrupting organization operations through distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. … Read more
