About
The Argus group was founded
by Dr. Simon
Ou in 2006 to carry out cyber security research. Our
focus is on the defense aspect of the cyber warfare, and
our philosophy is that successful cyber defense can only
be achieved through automated coordination of various
observation and action points in an enterprise
environment. "Point solutions" like firewalls and
traditional IDS systems are limited in effectiveness since
they only look at one aspect of the system and lack the
capability of "connecting the dots" among various
information sources to gain a global picture of a system's
security status. Our research aims at providing the
enabling technologies for such automated correlation and
analysis, with solid theoretical foundation and empirical
study. The group is named after the giant Argus in Greek
mythology, who has a hundred eyes that constantly watch
for enemies.
