It could, in theory, be sent to large events — IBM works on cybersecurity for the United States Open and Wimbledon tennis tournaments — to handle real-time threat response.
Touch screens displaying real-time threat monitoring — preferably with as many blinking charts and scary graphics as possible — are a must in any cyber war room.
It's the closest you'll get to real-time threat detection.
The product is an on-chain "Ethereum Oracle," serving as a universal monitoring hub for real-time threat detection.
More advanced security measures are needed such as intrusion detection systems (IDS), log monitoring and real-time threat detection.
The government's new National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), part of GCHQ, is a single, central body for cybersecurity at a national level, managing national cyber security incidents, carrying out real-time threat analysis and providing tailored sector advice.
"The total available market for our technology is likely significantly higher than what we had estimated, as we weren't able to include every possible use-case of real-time threat detection.
When pressed for more details, he says that they're launching a product to address the real-time threat that Twitter, Facebook and others are focused on, and that the new Digg search was the first hint of what they're thinking of.
"When we look at the rapidly changing IT security landscape, the proliferation of mass-marketed malware and the non-discriminatory approach of cybercriminals, we believe that real-time threat monitoring and management shouldn't be a luxury, but an affordable option for everyone," said SolarWinds CEO Kevin Thompson in today's announcement.
The technical details of the report constitute an intelligence windfall for ordinary network defenders who have been starving for rich real-time threat information from the federal government to protect their systems against sophisticated actors.
