Chicago (SPX) Oct 18, 2005
SPSS has that announced that the U.S. Army's Critical Infrastructure Assurance Program for Cyber Threats (CIAP-CT) has selected SPSS software to identify and correlate cyber-related attack patterns that threaten critical infrastructures.

The CIAP-CT, part of the U.S. Army's Homeland Infrastructure Security Threats Office (HISTO), assesses cyber threats aimed at civilian infrastructures that support the U.S. military's mission to move troops and supplies around the world.

"SPSS predictive analytics software was chosen because it was the most robust package we could find for correlating cyber-attack patterns," said HISTO's Director, Major Jeffrey T. Newhard. "SPSS will provide us with a more strategic picture of the cyber attacks occurring across the U.S."

"SPSS is quite proud that its software will be harnessed for a program vital to our military and to the nation's security," said SPSS President and CEO Jack Noonan. "SPSS predictive analytics software is increasingly a top solution-of-choice for a range of important government agencies and programs."

SPSS was recently selected by the U.S. Army Combat Readiness Center (CRC), to identify trends within risk-related data, improving the Center's ability to predict, control and prevent hazards threatening U.S. troops.

The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS), part of the U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Justice Programs, also purchased additional SPSS predictive analytics software to analyze and produce reports on key crime and justice-related data.
