Abstract:
Many smaller cities and counties cannot afford threat monitoring, yet are targeted with the same attacks as large municipalities. PISCES gives them free monitoring by handing the data to students at Universities in Washington State. The cities and counties get the cyber-defense they need, and students get to learn how to be cyber-analysts.
