William Vanderlinde, chief scientist at the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Agency, said IARPA has three programs aimed at boosting cybersecurity. The Scientific Advances to Continuous Insider Threat Evaluation program is run by a mathematical psychologist whose team is looking at behaviors associated with dishonesty to find active indicators of insider threats.
Another program is the Cyber-attack Automated Unconventional Sensor Environment, which looks for indicators of an imminent cyberattack. “On the dark web, there are various hacker tools available, things like zero days and botnets, so as with most things, the price of those depends on supply and demand,” Vanderlinde said. A spike in the price may mean someone is getting ready to attack.
