Hi Matthew! I'm not too involved into security-matters but to me there seems to be a lack of method. Examination of incedents mostly come post-mortem and are case-based. As far as i know there is only little *software* to detect anormal traffic. To me the many practical computer-related-problems boil down to the question whether you have got a suitable model to describe normal states and anormal ones. How about a statistic-focused phd about special kind of traffic that allows to predict that a network will face serious problems?
