A framework for efficiently and automatically exploring a data network and accurately identifying network threats, which comprises a plurality of software and hardware-based agents, distributed over the data network. The agents are capable of adjusting or reconfiguring, on the fly, the behavior of the agents and their ability to collect data in a targeted manner, so as to investigate suspicious incidents and alerts and collect data that was not yet collected by the system; collecting forensic data by executing tasks defined in workflows, being distributed threat intercepting programs and reporting about the collected forensic data, back to a Central Control Unit (C&C). Distributed threat intercepting programs ('workflows') are used to provide instructions to agents, to perform branching and provide instructions to the Central Control Unit (C&C), which orchestrates the agents to assure proper execution of the workflows; analyzes the collected information and presents ongoing status to an operator supervising the data network.

Bio-inspired agile cyber-security assurance framework

Methods and systems for obfuscating computer program code are disclosed. In an embodiment, a method of generating obfuscated binary code from input source code for execution on a target processor comprises: generating a set of random obfuscation transform selections; and iteratively optimizing the obfuscation transform selections until a termination criterion is met. The obfuscation transformation selections may comprise indications of custom instructions which are executable on the co-processor in order to reduce side channel leakage.
