Todd Wittbold’s cyber interests have spanned a variety of different topic areas including; security modeling, communications theory, covert communications, intrusion detection technology, and Security Operations. His recent work has been leading a team of engineers at MITRE’s Fort Meade site researching methods for intrusion detection of adversary behavior in enterprise networks after initial compromise. This project is a called FMX (the Fort Meade Experiment) and is a “living lab” in which Red Teams and Blue Teams engage in regular Cyber conflicts on MITRE’s Fort Meade operational network. The network is “hyper-sensored” and detailed data about the runtime behaviors of end systems is collected and analyzed in a “big-data” environment to provide dramatically improved intrusion detection methods.
