BAE Systems Cyber Technology Group product line director Anne Taylor said: “Today, advanced cyber attacks within many enterprise networks go entirely unnoticed among an overwhelming amount of network data, or they require intensive manual analysis by expert teams.
“Our technology aims to alleviate resource constraints to actively hunt for cyber threats that evade security measures, enhancing the collective cyber defence of these networks.”
The automated systems will be manufactured under DARPA’s Cyber-Hunting at Scale (CHASE) programme in order to develop, demonstrate and analyse new, automated cyber-defence tools for use within and across the enterprise networks.
The contract for Phases I, II and III of the CHASE programme is valued at approximately $5.2m.
