The Communications Security Establishment (CSE), Canada's national cryptologic agency and a leading expert in cyber security, believes in fostering collaboration and innovation. For the first time ever, CSE is releasing one of its own tools to the public as an open source platform. Developed internally, AssemblyLine is a cyber defence framework designed to perform distributed analytics at scale, focusing primarily on detecting and analyzing malicious files. Learn how AssemblyLine can not only minimize the number of innocuous files that cyber security professionals are required to inspect every day, but how you can collaborate with others to customize and improve the platform.
