Senior Design Team • Knowledge Graphs for Cybersecurity Reasoning

Project Overview

Cybersecurity threat reporting is currently spread out across multiple sources and written in a non-standardized format. Information is updated frequently, changing the landscape and requiring much effort to parse and read for relevant information. Cybersecurity researchers, Incident Responders, and System Administrators need to be able to efficiently query information about a specific software, malware, threat, etc., as well as new and emerging ones. Generating a Cybersecurity Knowledge Graph (CSKG) that contains relevant datapoints will allow for efficient information storage and querying capability.
