SDAIA addresses a critical need for security solutions for Science DMZ networks, and further represents a strategic value of establishing an intelligence foothold that will benefit our national cyberinfrastructure (CI) through greater situational awareness. Secondly, we aim to provide the cybersecurity research community with a rich, real-world intelligence source upon which to test their theories, tools, and techniques. Our efforts are in response to recent NSF investment and efforts by ESnet that have spurred a rapid growth of open high performance networks or so-called Science DMZ deployments. Science DMZs support big data and access to high-performance computation through very high bandwidth networks in an open environment that presents new challenges to the traditional university security stance.
