We are pleased to announce that Professor Philippe Baumard, part of our team at the Chair Innovation & Regulation of Digital Services, expert in cybersecurity, is Laureate of the 2013 National innovation awards from OSEO in the “Creation – Development” category for his Akheros software development.

Akheros aims at the creation of a resident cybersecurity learning Bayesian network, which learns machines’ informational behavior and construct a central Bayesian network for each machine that anticipates, detects and prevent offensive incongruous behaviors of other machines. Based on Professor Baumard’s patents, Akheros creates resident cybersecurity learning Bayesian components, which learn machines’ informational behavior and construct a dedicated Bayesian networks for each machine that anticipates, detects and prevent offensive incongruous behaviors of other machines, such as Advanced Persistent Threats (APT), intrusions, system and network compromising and destructive attacks. The French public incubator Agoranov, in Paris, currently hosts Akheros.
