Our work

Computer network defense

• DDoS Defender™: dynamically hides high-value cyber assets and misleads and confuses adversaries using defensive and deceptive maneuvers. Combining multiple, proven innovations, our solution delivers superior defensive capacity to detect and deter both very high-volume as well as targeted, low-volume DDoS attacks 
• Distributed Enclave Defense Using Configurable Edges (DEDUCE): resilient communications to provide real-time, “fight through” service restoration from the network edges. DEDUCE delivers a general-purpose, edge-based network event mitigation system that improves operator situational awareness and service assurance 

• Data-driven network threat detector: a cyber hunting system that detects and characterizes threats at scale, in real-time, for large enterprise networks. Our solution automatically sets hunt priorities, to minimize detection time and identify both known and novel threats with high confidence 
• 1553 Bus Defender™: protects warfighting systems from attacks launched or propagated over the 1553 data bus. Bus Defender detects and blocks zero day and known cyber threats, requires no changes to system software or configurations, and also secures maintenance and test operations 
• Securing embedded systems / Internet of Things (IoT): we created new technology for true air-gapped monitoring of embedded and IoT devices. Our cyber emissions monitor combines signal processing, machine learning and program analysis techniques to derive signatures from radio frequency, acoustic and power emissions to determine if a system is operating normally or has been compromised   

Secure by design

• ​Configuration security for network-connected composed systems: our novel solution automates configuration for composed systems, while simultaneously minimizing the attack surface. An innovative combination of machine learning and optimization techniques is used to determine a system configuration that provides the best security while maintaining the intended functionality
• Configuration automation for cyber infrastructure: our Distributed, Assured and Dynamic Configuration (DADC™) system securely and quickly configures network, cloud and hybrid infrastructure. Functionality includes automated configuration synthesis, policy compliance and repair, visualization and verification 
• Provably secure systems and applications: via tools and programming extensions that express security intent to build multilevel security architectures that are correct-by-compilation. Enables software engineers to efficiently build provably secure architectures that can isolate and protect against high-risk transactions across system life cycles   

Other

• Cyberwarfare platform: our platform and analytics for machine-speed cyber mission plan construction, deployment, execution and monitoring utilizes a unique combination of statistical algorithms and program synthesis and verification techniques to automatically identify the most promising cyber operations plans
• Cyber reconnaissance framework: uses a data-driven, intelligent cyber collection pipeline that can identify information gaps and automatically define and execute targeted data collection actions to improve cyber intelligence
• Machine learning for autonomous cyber defense: we are developing cyber defense capabilities that are autonomous, secure, easy to deploy and configure, adaptive and resilient to adversarial deception  

• Cyber Virtual Assured Network (CyberVAN™): our platform provides a flexible, scalable cyber range for cyber experimentation and analysis. CyberVAN includes tools to automate the design and deployment of network scenarios and inject attacks for vulnerability assessment, mitigation analysis and cyber response training ​
