Launch of new research project CLEARER

We can proudly announce the start of our new research project “CLEARER: Erfüllung von Compliance‐Anforderungen durch automatisierte Bearbeitung von IT-Sicherheitsvorfällen”. CLEARER started on May 1st and will be completed in April 2018.

The goal of CLEARER is the development of a SIEM system with an automatic integration of compliance requirements into it. It will utilize novel network security approaches and distributive computing to meet the specific requirements of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) like ease of integration, small administrative effort and cost effectiveness.

CLEARER will benefit from the experiences that we and our partners DECOIT GmbH, IT-Security@Work GmbH and macmon secure GmbH have gathered during our previously security research projects. The IF-MAP based software developed during the SIMU project will be extended and enhanced to create more sophisticated tools that allow for better automation and address the limited possibilities of SMEs in security expert knowledge and resources.

The CLEARER research project is funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy in the range of the Central Innovation Programme for SMEs (BMWi, FKZ: ZF4202902HB6).

Subsite for new research project added

A new subsite for the current research project IQM4HD (Intelligent Quality Monitoring for Heterogeneous Data) was added to our website.

Some impressions from Cebit 2016

Here are some impressions of the Trust@HsH Cebit booth in Hall 6, Booth A18.

Meet the Trust@HsH team on CeBIT 2016

During this year’s CeBIT (March 14th to 18th), the Trust@HsH research group will present their work on the Evaluation of Security-Relevant Network (Meta)Data as one of 17 exhibitors of the joint stand of the state Lower Saxony, titled Innovationsland Niedersachsen (innovation state Lower Saxony). At the both, universities and research organizations show their research results as well as companies and founder show their development.

We will showcase our latest work in visualization of network security (see VisITMeta project) and Security Information and Event Management (see SIMU project ).

Together with a few slides about our work, we would be pleased to show you a high level demonstration of our open source IF-MAP tools.

The Trust@HsH team will be happy to welcome you in Hall 6, at booth A18!

Poster on "Visualization of Network Security Policies" presented at this years VizSec Symposium in Chicago

At the 12th IEEE Symposium on Visualization for Cyber Security (VizSec) on October 24th in Chicago, the Trust@HsH research group presented their poster on Visualization of Network Security Policies.

The poster describes our approach of how to combine sensor data, policy data and evaluation data in one data model (IF-MAP) and how a GUI (built on VisITMeta) can emphasize their relationships among themselves to allow a user to analyse when and why an evaluation was triggered and which sensor data was evaluated by which policy element.

The implementation of these features within irondetect and VisITMeta will be released during the next months.

Here are some further impressions from Chicago.

The VizSec symposium was held in conjunction with IEEE VIS and will return in 2016 in the city of Baltimore.
