cyber-security-1569408769

BAE Systems Applied Intelligence has won a contract with The US Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency (DAPRA) to develop data-driven, cyber tracking tools. The products will be used to  detect and analyse cyber threats to protect large trusted enterprise, government and military networks. The contract is for approximately $5.2b and will be executed in three stages. The aim is to develop, test and demonstrate new cyber protection tools with the scale necessary to protect extremely large enterprise networks. These solutions will be automated, hinging on machine learning and cyber-attack modelling, detecting and defeating advanced threats that might otherwise go under the radar. The technology should result in improved cyber protection without the need to expend additional resources and storage.
