Department of Defense grant enables PVAMU to
feature CyberFlood at its SECURE Center of Excellence
Spirent Communications plc (LSE:SPT), the trusted provider of
test, measurement, assurance and analytics solutions for
next-generation devices and networks, today announced that the
Prairie View A&M University (PVAMU), a member of the
prestigious Texas A&M University System, has procured the
Spirent CyberFlood solution for research and teaching of
cybersecurity network testing. A grant from the U.S. Department of
Defense (DoD) enabled the university to purchase the solution for
its SECURE Cybersecurity Center of Excellence and Center of
Excellence for Communication Systems Technology Research (CECSTR).
CyberFlood will be utilized by students and faculty researching
cybersecurity, artificial intelligence and computer forensics.
“With the complexities and constant changes in both networks and
security threats, it is now critical and an industry best practice
to perform ongoing testing,” said Shumon Alam, Ph.D., research
scientist and principal investigator (PI) of the PVAMU project. “We
will incorporate the Spirent CyberFlood solution into our
curriculum and research programs as we continue to develop and
deliver some of the best cybersecurity education in the
country.”
CyberFlood is a powerful, automated solution that generates
realistic application traffic and security threats within live or
production networks, providing organizations with a continual
security and performance assessment of their enterprise network
infrastructures. Unlike assessment solutions that simulate attacks,
CyberFlood uses actual attack components, true hacker activity, and
malware executables accessed through continually updated threat
intelligence services to validate an organization’s vulnerability
to cybercrime.
“We are pleased to see PVAMU make CyberFlood a prominent element
in the instruction and research carried out at its cybersecurity
center,” said Daryl Adams, Senior Security Product Engineer at
Spirent. “The university is providing students with hands-on
state-of-the-art testing experience to prepare for the realities
they face in their future vocations and give them a substantial
advantage with such working knowledge.”
The DoD award provided to PVAMU is the result of a merit
competition administered by the Army Research Office under the
policy and guidance of the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense
for Research and Engineering (OUSD(R&E)). The Army Research
Office is an element of the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities
Development Command’s Army Research Laboratory.
