Welcome to the DART (Detecting, Analyzing, and Responding to Cyber Threats) Lab, led by Wajih Ul Hassan at the University of Virginia. In an era where cyber threats are increasingly sophisticated and often hidden within the complexities of modern enterprises, our lab is committed to developing scalable, data-driven solutions for robust threat detection and detailed forensic investigation. We also focus on enhancing the operational efficiency of Security Operations Centers (SOCs), empowering them to respond to cyber threats with greater precision and speed.
