theTRACE

theTRACE is a software application developed by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to enhance the security of computer networks. It is designed to detect and respond to cyber threats in real-time, providing a proactive defense mechanism against various types of cyber attacks. theTRACE operates by continuously monitoring network traffic and analyzing it for suspicious activities, such as unauthorized access attempts, data exfiltration, and malware infections. Upon detecting a potential threat, theTRACE can automatically isolate affected systems, block malicious traffic, and alert network administrators to take further action. The application is widely used within the DoD to protect sensitive information and critical infrastructure from cyber threats. It is part of a broader initiative to enhance cybersecurity across the U.S. government and its contractors.
