Given security data collected in the duration of an attack, the team will structure the data, explore the data, evaluate the possibility of determining if and when an attack occurs, and attempt to develop algorithms for detecting relevant patterns in real-time. If successful, the team may work toward developing a package for analyzing security data for Rapid7.
