• Streaming Analytics at the Edge With CyberRax Data Flow Pipeline (Aug 08, 2019)

  LAKE FOREST, CALIF., AUGUST 6, 2019 — PSSC Labs, a developer of custom High Performance Computing and Big Data computing solutions today announced the launch of a new product. The ability to ingest, transform and analyze data at the edge is the new IT frontier. Data processing has become increasingly complicated for many organizations, and this rings particularly true for organizations that find themselves constantly dealing with large influxes of data. Not only can those influxes be time-consuming and difficult to manage, but more often than not, that data needs to be processed, analyzed, and delivered to employees with real-time access. Unfortunately, many organizations don’t have the resources to do this and the solutions they implement in an attempt to get their data into the right hands often fall short. 

  Fortunately there is an answer. NSA developers released an open source version of their “Niagrafiles” application to the Apache project and dubbed it “NiFi”. NiFi is a simple tool to automate the flow of data between systems. NiFi offers organizations a real-time, fault-tolerant platform to process millions of transactions per second. 

  Organizations can now identify key patterns, compare against existing models, and potentially solve problems before they even occur. As with many successful open source projects, NiFi is now available as a commercially supported offering by Cloudera, called Cloudera Data Flow (CDF). CDF includes all of the open source features of NiFi including data governance, integration with other tools including Cloudera’s HDP Data Platform, Apache Ranger for security, and Apache Kafka for streaming data. 

  Our mission at PSSC Labs is to provide organizations with the equipment and means that they need in order to succeed. That’s why we created our purpose-built, high performance, truly redundant CyberRax Data Flow Pipeline solution. Working with Cloudera engineers, PSSC Labs engineered the CyberRax Data Flow Pipeline with the latest in technology to scale to any organization’s streaming analytics needs. Included in the solution is a three node redundant configuration with 16TB usable storage for Content Repo, 8TB usable storage for Flowfile Rep, 8TB useable storage for Provenance Repo and an additional 8TB for other NiFi components. CyberRax Data Flow Pipeline includes all of the enterprise features and functions necessary for production deployments at U.S. Government Agencies as well as Fortune 5000 Corporations. 
  
  CyberRax Data Flow Pipeline key features include: certified compatible with Cloudera Dataflow (Apache NiFi), delivered with and without back end data platform, significant CapEx and OpEx reduction, truly turn-key deployment, manage and secure your data, and reduced time to deployment and value. 

  Our solutions have assisted in the prevention of many disasters by helping our clients better predict flooding, prevent wildfires, know when to perform maintenance on aircraft, and more. CyberRax Data Flow Pipeline is already being deployed at various Department of Defense organizations as well as cybersecurity-focused firms. These organizations have combined their CyberRax Data Flow Pipeline with PSSC Labs’ CloudOOP Rax Enterprise Data Lake platform to create a powerful and highly scalable environment to not only process and ingest data at the edge but also store that data for additional analysis using Apache Spark for data science and machine learning.

• PSSC Labs and CyberSecurity Malaysia Team Up to Crunch Data and Crush Hackers (Aug 08, 2019)

  LAKE FOREST, CALIF., FEBRUARY 26, 2018 -- PSSC Labs, a developer of custom High Performance Computing and Big Data computing solutions, announced today it was selected by CyberSecurity Malaysia (CSM) to help facilitate, manage, securely store and access massive amounts of cyber forensic data by building a custom turn-key cluster server.

  CyberSecurity Malaysia is the national cybersecurity specialist agency under the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI). The role of CSM is to provide specialized cybersecurity services that contribute towards a bigger national objective of preventing or minimizing disruptions to critical information infrastructure in order to protect the public, the economy and government services. CSM receives about 10,000 security incident reports each year. Recently, CSM has seen a growing number of cyber-incidents with fraud topping the list followed by intrusion, malicious codes and cyber-harassment. As of October 2017, CSM received 3,240 reported incidents on fraud; 1,781 on intrusion; 694 on malicious codes and 499 on cyber-harassment.

  To facilitate, manage, securely store and access massive amounts of cyber-forensic data, CSM required an infrastructure upgrade. CSM security experts embarked on a worldwide hunt for a vendor partner and selected PSSC Labs to custom build a turn-key cluster server that could be delivered to Malaysia. With over 25 years of experience providing the most cutting edge HPC and Big Data computing solutions to customers including the US Army, NASA and other major US research universities such as Harvard, PSSC Labs had the precise expertise that CSM was looking for.

  PSSC Labs engineers custom-built a CloudOOP Rax Cluster server solution to meet CSM’s requirements of a powerful ready-to-deploy system that would not be an energy drain. The tightly integrated CloudOOP Rax solution provides superior performance with a framework that enables a single view of diverse streams of security data, allowing CSM to rapidly detect and respond to emerging threats.

  The complete system included ten PSSC Labs CloudOOP 12000 Data Nodes and three CloudSeek Name Nodes. All the necessary rack, 10GigE network switch and power connections were preconfigured and included. They also installed Hortonworks HDP Data Platform and Apache Metron which were preconfigured for the CSM team. Apache Metron is a streaming analytics application that makes it faster and easier for security operations personnel to do their job. It is a next generation SOC (security operations center) data analytics and response application that integrates a variety of open source big data technologies into a centralized tool for security monitoring and analysis. Total storage capacity of the system is 150 terabytes.

  By using PSSC Labs hardware and system, CSM hopes to have high processing performance for central analysis in analyzing multiple incident images. CSM will also utilize the hardware to analyze and visualize large amounts of data for malware analytics where the size of data can be as big as 100gb/year and increasing, said CyberSecurity Malaysia’s Chief Technology Officer, Dr. Solahuddin Shamsuddin. “The PSSC Labs system will act as the platform for data processing and analytics as well as visualization. The visualization will be fed to stakeholders with dashboard access.”

  To ensure the installation was flawless, CSM organized a Strategic Training and Working Visit to PSSC Labs in the fall of 2017. The participants were from the Digital Forensic Department in CyberSecurity Malaysia. They were trained on Big Data platform and technology by PSSC Labs engineers.

  The PSSC Labs platform will also provide sufficient resources for CSM to incorporate AI into its offerings. Artificial intelligence will enable CSM to predict cyberattacks before they happen by detecting changes or anomalies. The country has a shortage of skilled cybersecurity professionals, and AI will act as a “force multiplier” to enable fewer analysts to identify, thwart and counter a far greater number of attacks. It will also provide analysts with “situational awareness” by identifying and classifying any backend limitations a system may have. Artificial intelligence enables a “proactive defense”, constantly monitoring for vulnerabilities that could be exploited for malicious purposes.
