As more disciplines leverage computational and data-driven
modeling, the security of campus cyberinfrastructure is becoming
increasingly important in order to protect intellectual property
and secure a competitive advantage for researchers. Funded by the
NSF Cybersecurity Innovation for Cyberinfrastructure (CICI)
program, the Purdue Live Security Analyzer (PULSAR) project aims to
enhance the cybersecurity of Purdue’s campus cyberinfrastructure by
developing a cyber attack detection and response capability for the
Purdue campus research network. Goals of the project include
enabling domain scientists to conduct research with heightened
security requirements, enhancing cybersecurity research by making
large volumes of production network traffic data available to
researchers, and supporting cybersecurity education by engaging
undergraduate students in the deployment and operation of advanced
cyberinfrastructure. The implementation of PULSAR was led by a team
of Purdue undergraduate students alongside mentors from ITaP
Security and Policy and Research Computing. Implementation details
of the project will be discussed along with information regarding
generation of anonymized network traffic datasets.
