This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program provides $600,000 in funding to Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University (Virginia Tech) to develop advanced real-time cybersecurity monitoring technologies for detecting crypto-ransomware attacks. The project aims to overcome the challenge of heavy logging overhead that hinders effective ransomware detection, by comprehensively evaluating different logging schedules and creating innovative log analysis algorithms to enhance endpoint intrusion detection capabilities. The proposed work aims to improve the effectiveness and deployability of ransomware defense solutions, particularly for low-resource, high-risk organizations such as local governments, hospitals, and schools. The award was made on July 15, 2024, with a planned completion date of June 30, 2027. No sub-awards are planned under this grant.
