SUPER Synthetic User Persona EmulatoR

Five Directions is pleased to propose to the SUP direct to Phase II program an end-to-end synthetic data generation and labeling framework featuring our user emulation and data labeling prototypes. The Synthetic User Persona EmulatoR (SUPER) will be researched and developed by a team of security experts with experience in endpoint and network telemetry systems and traffic generation, and a passion for furthering cyber defense capabilities and research. Five Directions has previously contributed endpoint expertise to cyber telemetry-oriented DARPA programs such as Transparent Computing (TC) and Cyber Hunting at ScalE (CHASE) and was the originator of the telemetry dataset published under the DARPA Operationally Transparent Cyber (OpTC) transition pilot. SUPER will build upon an existing agentless user emulator and traffic generation prototype developed under the DARPA CHASE program that meets the direct to Phase II requirements. At the end of this Phase II program, SUPER will enable user emulation and traffic generation at scale without creating generational artifacts that could bias collected datasets. SUPER will accomplish this via an agentless solution that leverages artificial intelligence (AI) for screen recognition and creating realistic personas.???????
