Australia looks towards space with force restructure, investment and training
Australia is looking to improve its presence in space with a focus on communications and creating a dedicated segment of its defence forces committed to the domain.
BAE Systems has been selected by DARPA to develop data-driven, cyber-hunting tools that detect and analyse cyber threats to help protect extremely large enterprise networks, the company announced on 7 August.
The combined value of the contract for Phase one, two and three of the programme is around $5.2 million.
DARPA’s Cyber-Hunting at Scale (CHASE) programme intends to develop, demonstrate, and evaluate new, automated cyber-defence tools to be used within and across these types of networks.
BAE Systems’ solution, which combines advanced machine learning and cyber-attack modeling, intends to address this critical need by automatically detecting and defeating advanced cyber threats that could currently go undetected. The result could be better-defended commercial networks, using existing storage and existing resources. The technology could also be used to help protect government and military networks.
BAE Systems’ subcontractors and research partners on the CHASE programme include Digital Operatives, and teams from Carnegie Mellon University and New York University.
