“The site attempts to anticipate and predict where the next major cyber conflict could break out based on existing data from past attacks,” said Dahbura, executive director of the Johns Hopkins Information Security Institute and co-director of the new Johns Hopkins University Institute for Assured Autonomy. “It’s a very good approximation of what’s hot and what’s not.”
