Abstract

The Mothra security analysis platform enables scalable and analytical workflows that extend beyond the limitations of conventional flow records.

With the Mothra project, we aim to:

  • facilitate bulk storage and analysis of cybersecurity data with high levels of flexibility, performance, and interoperability
  • reduce the engineering effort involved in developing, transitioning, and operationalizing new analytics
  • serve all major constituencies within the network security community, including data scientists, first-tier incident responders, system administrators, and hobbyists
