Abstract
Cybersecurity is an issue that affects virtually everybody in the digital age. Attacks such
as the Equifax breach or the Wannacry ransomware attack are becoming more and more
commonplace and are becoming harder to defend against as attackers become more
sophisticated. Many organizations that are breached are often entirely unaware of the
breach until after it has occurred, or slow to react during the event. CYBEX is a project to
help mitigate this. CYBEX is an automated cybersecurity response system designed to
import and analyze log files from many organizations, develop defensive rules against an
attack on any one of them, and send the solution out to all other members in order to stop
attacks before they can spread. CYBEX primarily targeted at businesses in order to
facilitate faster and more effective incident response. CYBEX was successful in testing at
being able to securely disseminate security rules out to a group of computers and
preemptively stop attacks against them.
