Collecting, Analyzing, and Leveraging Threat Intelligence at NTT-CERT
Abstract
The use of threat intelligence is progressing in corporate-based security frameworks typified by computer security incident response teams (CSIRTs) in order to defend networks and systems against increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks. It is becoming necessary to obtain a deeper understanding of threat intelligence and to deal with more advanced forms of such information. This article presents an analysis of attacker motivation using threat intelligence. The usefulness of threat intelligence in actual on-site CSIRT activities is also explained.

Digital-preprocessed Analog-multiplexed Digital-to-analog Converter for Ultrahigh-speed Optical Transmitter
Abstract
We have developed technology to extend the analog bandwidth of digital-to-analog converters (DACs), which are essential in advanced high-speed optical transmitters. We used a digital preprocessor, two sub-DACs, and an analog multiplexer to generate arbitrary signals with a bandwidth nearly twice that of each sub-DAC. This technology was used to successfully demonstrate various high-speed transmissions, including an intensity-modulated directly detected transmission at a record-high data rate of 250 Gbit/s.

Satellite Communications Modem Unit COM-Uˇ˝Enhanced Maintenance, Operations, and Spectrum Utilization Efficiency of Satellite Transponders for Remote Island Satellite Communications and Disaster Relief Satellite Communications
Abstract
A major advantage of satellite communications is the ability to implement communication networks virtually anywhere in Japan very simply. The NTT Group has been utilizing satellite communications to provide services in situations where optical fiber, mobile telephony, and other terrestrial facilities are impractical: remote islands, offshore areas, and stricken regions where people have been forced to temporarily flee in the face of earthquakes and other natural disasters. The Group continues to pursue research and development on satellite systems to make them more efficient and advanced. Here we present an overview of NTTˇÇs new satellite communications modem unit called COM-U (satellite circuit-terminating common unit), that markedly improves the spectrum utilization efficiency of satellite transponders and the maintenance and operations of satellite communications used for remote island and disaster relief satellite communications.
