Military Spends $4.4M To Supersize Net Monitoring 76
coondoggie writes "Bigger, better, faster, more are the driving themes behind the advanced network monitoring technology BBN Technologies is building for the military.
The high-tech firm got a $4.4 million contract today from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to develop novel, scalable attack detection algorithms; a flexible and expandable architecture for implementing and deploying the algorithms; and an execution environment for traffic inspection and algorithm execution. The network monitoring system is being developed under DARPA's Scalable Network Monitoring program which seeks to bolt down network security in the face of cyber attacks that have grown more subtle and sophisticated."

It doesn't actually sound like all that much to me. Frankly, I'm surprised that they're not spending 10x as much already. Of course, maybe they are...

What do I base my statements on? I do network security full-time for about 50,000 users.
