Researchers will have access to 'real-world' data on cyber-attacks across the Internet
Government Security News: The Science and Technology Directorate at DHS is planning to gather "comprehensive real-world data" about cyber-attack phenomena, so it can make those data sets available to an estimated 200 different research organizations attempting to develop products and technologies that can better protect the nations computing infrastructure.
