7th Annual CERIAS Information Security Symposium
How do we negotiate trust in a world of imperfect knowledge, conflicting information, and indirect communication? Trust acknowledges the existence of risk, but infers that the calculated risk is manageable and acceptable—that a decision
CERIAS Incident Response Database
The CERIAS Incident Response Database is a web-based system that tracks data related to ongoing incident responses. Responders record the type of event, amount of time spent reacting to the incident (and the cost attached to this), and their role in the response. By collecting this data, a better understanding of the financial costs of incidents can be formed.
CIRDB & Cassandra
The CERIAS Incident Response Database is a web-based system intended to be used while responding to incidents. It enhances preparedness by providing host, policy, service, and vulnerability management capabilities.
Cassandra is a public tool based on the CVE effort and NIST’s ICAT metabase that contributes to macro-security by providing best-effort vulnerability notifications.Zeitline: a forensic timeline editor
The CERIAS computer forensics research group is proud to announce the
initial release of Zeitline: a forensic timeline editor. Zeitline is
an open-sourced graphical tool written in Java used for the analysis
of forensic events.
Zeitline allows a forensic investigator to import events from various
sources of a computing system or network and then order and classify
them into one or more timelines of events. Events may be grouped
together into super-events, creating a hierarchy of events. The
organization of events and timelines as tree views allows the
investigator to display and hide specific events, which makes it easy
to focus on the relevant aspects of the investigation one at a
time. This is further supported by the ability to filter events based
on keywords as well as start and ending times.
