While the Clemson defense was holding the Alabama offense scoreless from early in the second quarter of Monday’s NCAA College Football Playoff title game—the Tigers went on to route the Tide 44-16—another team was running cyber defense elsewhere in Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif.
Cybersecurity platform Respond Software worked with students from Norwich University’s Cyber Conflict Research Institute as well as in-stadium security personnel to guard against potential cyber attacks that might affect the event. More than 243,000 cyber events were monitored during the title game using Respond Software’s artificial intelligence-based decision platform called Respond Analyst.
