Federal Drive with Tom Temin show

Summary: Agency cybersecurity people spend most of their time reacting to attempted attacks, installing software they hope will alert them in time or cleaning up after an attack got through. Now researchers at the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity think they have found a way to forecast when and where cyber attacks will arrive. It's called the cyber attack automated unconventional sensor environment (CAUSE). Program manager Robert Rahmer joined Federal Drive with Tom Temin in the studio for more.
