DARPA Taps Raytheon for Cybersecurity Research Program
Â
Raytheon announced today it has been selected by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency to support its Anomaly Detection at Multiple Scales program, a cybersecurity initiative that will use algorithms to better detect anomalous behaviors and insider threats. Raytheon will create, adapt and apply technology to the problem of anomaly characterization and detection in large data sets.
According to Raytheon, the ADAMS project will use data collected by Raytheon‘s endpoint audit and investigation solution known as SureView. The specific goal of ADAMS researchers is to detect anomalous behaviors shortly after a trusted insider “turns†and begins committing malicious acts.
“This project will provide unprecedented understanding of the insider threat at a time when the U.S. government is mandating that agencies implement automated insider threat detection capabilities to protect their classified information systems,†said Steve Hawkins, vice president of Raytheon’s Intelligence and Information Systems’ Information Security Solutions business. “The ADAMS program will ensure that operationally proven tools such as SureView can be further enhanced to keep pace with the ever-evolving nature of the insider threat and allow analysts to better identify precursor behaviors before damaging incidents occur.â€
Raytheon’s SureView is an appliance-based solution that detects threats by auditing end-user behavior on computer endpoints for policy violations and high-risk activity, such as accessing classified or proprietary data and trying to send it outside the firewall.
ADAMS will leverage massive data sets from large computer end-user populations observed in live, operational environments. According to the company, DARPA has stated it wants the technology developed by ADAMS researchers to bolster the capabilities of existing sensor suites currently employed by cybersecurity analysts and operators.
We are certainly in a time when this is very, very dangerous, there is a deep inter tie between the Government and so, so many areas of our lives we can't even begin to imagine how much the Feerral Government is our lives deeper than they should be.
They can so easily arrest us with out anybody really knowing ever.
This is because of Obama's NDAA law this is where this comes from and this is why it's dangerous.
If you even THINK of a crime--- YOU WILL BE ARRESTED!!!
If Alex Jones, Glenn Beck end up dead, the Government had something to do with it we can bet on it.

Internal Homeland Security document indicates a program to predict criminal intent is being tested on members of the public, raising questions about whether it's a bit too close to a real-life Minority Report.
An internal U.S. Department of Homeland Security document indicates that a controversial program designed to predict whether a person will commit a crime is already being tested on some members of the public voluntarily, CNET has learned.
If this sounds a bit like the Tom Cruise movie called "Minority Report," or the CBS drama "Person of Interest," it is. But where "Minority Report" author Philip K. Dick enlisted psychics to predict crimes, DHS is betting on algorithms: it's building a "prototype screening facility" that it hopes will use factors such as ethnicity, gender, breathing, and heart rate to "detect cues indicative of mal-intent."

Seriously, sometimes I think we are getting too smart for our own good and we need to so down and let our morals and ethics catch up.
cars made especially the last 10 years, all have built in circuit boards, and computer chips - an emp would fry them ......... so no way to regulate gas and air entering into the cylinder ............
O- blood, I think, is the "universal" blood. Can be used in transfusion with any other type, so I am told. Maybe that has something to do with it. I'm O negative with RH positive. Should I hide someplace?
O Rh-positive 37 percent A Rh-positive 36 percent B Rh-positive 9 percent AB Rh-positive 3 percent O Rh-negative 7 percent A Rh-negative 6 percent B Rh-negative 1 percent AB Rh-negative 1 percent
Every American could – literally – be labeled a suspected terrorist under current governmental criteria.
Specifically, the following actions may get a U.S. citizen labeled as a suspected terrorist today:
Speaking out against government policies
Protesting anything
Questioning war (even though war reduces our national security; and see this)
Criticizing the government’s targeting of innocent civilians with drones (although killing innocent civilians with drones is one of the main things which increases terrorism. And see this)
Asking questions about pollution (even at a public Congressional hearing?)
Paying cash at an Internet cafe
Asking questions about Wall Street shenanigans
Holding gold
Creating alternative currencies
Stocking up on more than 7 days of food (even though all Mormons are taught to stockpile food, and most Hawaiians store up on extra food)

Investigating factory farming
Infringing a copyright
Taking pictures
Holding the following beliefs may also be considered grounds for suspected terrorism:
Valuing online privacy
Supporting Ron Paul or being a libertarian
Liking the Founding Fathers
Being a Christian (?)
Being anti-tax, anti-regulation or for the gold standard
Being “reverent of individual liberty”
Being “anti-nuclear”

“A belief that one’s personal and/or national “way of life” is under attack”
“Impose strict religious tenets or laws on society (fundamentalists)”

“A belief in the need to be prepared for an attack either by participating in … survivalism”
See Something, Act Like a Snitch in Nazi Germany, Stasi East Germany or Iraq
I initially thought that Paul Joseph Watson was overreacting when he claimed that a Homeland Security video paints the following activities as signs of potential terrorism:
Opposing surveillance
Talking to police officers
Wearing a hoodie
Driving a van
Writing on a piece of paper
But Watson makes a brilliant point about Homeland Security’s “See Something Say Something”campaign, and how accusations of terrorism actually spread:
Im sure you know the list already. take care Thomas good seeing you.
