The CERT division of the Software Engineering Institute (SEI), a federally funded research and development center at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, engages in state-of-the-art research and development and provides robust solutions focused on ensuring that software engineers, cybersecurity experts, network and system administrators, and others are able to resist, recognize, and recover from attacks on software systems. Our Data Integration Team (DIT) team in the Threat Analysis Directorate (TAD) helps programs apply best practices and adopt emerging tools and techniques to advance solutions in malware analysis, reverse engineering, vulnerability analysis and coordination. The goal of the DIT team is to provide software development support for the TAD to build, manage, and sustain a homogeneous applications environment using a range of skills throughout the software development lifecycle. We apply a holistic cybersecurity and engineering approach to software intensive systems in the TAD domain. Keeping pace with cyber systems operations requires creativity, efficiency, and staying up to date with modern computing platforms. In some cases, the computing has outpaced the methods, and it is incumbent upon us to generate novel approaches to specific sponsor needs.
