U.S. Air Force cyber security experts are looking to Kudu Dynamics LLC in Catharpin, Va., to help enhance the understanding of internal computer functions as a way to detect and counter advanced cyber warfare threats. Officials of the Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, announced a $7.2 million contract to Kudu Dynamics late Thursday to participate in the Transparent Computing project. The Air Force Research Lab awarded the contract on behalf of the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) in Arlington, Va. Kudu Dynamics cyber experts will develop ways for the prompt detection of advanced persistent threats and other cyber threats and allow complete root cause analysis and damage assessment once adversary activity is identified. The DARPA Transparent Computing program aims to make currently opaque computing systems transparent by providing high-fidelity visibility into component interactions during computer and network system operation across all layers of software abstraction, while imposing minimal performance overhead. Modern computing systems act as black boxes in that they accept inputs and generate outputs but provide little to no visibility of their internal workings, DARPA researchers explain. This lack of transparency limits the ability to understand cyber behaviors at the level of […]
