Hamilton will introduce a model for the automated collection of security event data from public and private entities across a metropolitan area. Events are correlated across the geography and information regarding the "attack surface" made broadly available. Incident alerts are delivered to participants, regional and national Computer Security Incident Response Teams (CSIRTs), and when the information has intelligence significance, to the regional Fusion Center. Information sharing is thus timely, relevant, and broadly distributed.
