Palo Alto Research Center (PARC), A Xerox Company, today announced that it is currently helping the US government proactively identify internal threats before damaging acts are carried out via a two year, $3.5 million contract with the Department of Defense. Developed via PARC’s open innovation model aimed at commercializing emerging technology quickly and successfully, this technology will first be developed for the US government, but the core technology has the potential to be deployed commercially to help stop corporate insider threats and make inroads in fraud detection in the near future. PARC researchers are working on the answer to this problem through its work on the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA)’s ADAMS (Anomaly Detection At Multiple Scales) program. Specifically, PARC is involved in spearheading the Graph Learning for Anomaly Detection using Psychological Context (GLAD-PC) project, which aims to provide automatic, proactive threat identification and ranking from large-scale behavioral and information-network datasets.
