Applied R&D Partnerships That Push the Boundaries of Today’s Security Capabilities

Why Partner Through Applied R&D

Applied R&D partnerships with ObjectSecurity give you early access to emerging capabilities
and direct influence on how they evolve into real products.

  • Shape the direction of capabilities that may become future product features
  • Gain first access to new tooling and research outcomes before broader release
  • Tackle hard, unsolved security problems that require deep research, not existing tools
  • Leverage our DoD-funded and agency-funded R&D to accelerate your mission needs
  • Engage through structured pilots or funded design partnerships, not marketing programs

Areas Open for Applied R&D Partnership

We partner on R&D efforts that extend our research into new capability areas shaped by early technical input and mission needs:

Agentic AI for Interactive Cyber Vulnerability Analysis

  • STATUS: Pre-product (SBIR-funded prototype capability)
  • TRANSITION: Future integration into BinLens   → BinLens
  • VALUE: Unique AI-assisted discovery, analysis, remediation for hard-to-reach vulnerabilities

AI/ML Model Vulnerability Analysis: Traditional Models

  • STATUS: Pre-product (SBIR-funded prototype capability)
  • TRANSITION: Future integration into FortiLayer   → FortiLayer
  • VALUE: Advanced vulnerability analyses of ML models potentially domain-specific

AI/ML Model Vulnerability Analysis: LLM Models

  • STATUS: Pre-product (SBIR-funded prototype capability)
  • TRANSITION: Future integration into FortiLayer   → FortiLayer
  • VALUE: Advanced vulnerability analyses of LLM models potentially domain-specific and/or white-box

Automated 5G Characterization and Vulnerability Analysis

  • STATUS: Prototype (SBIR-funded prototype capability)
  • TRANSITION: 5G cell analysis software deployed for private 5G or OEMs & carriers
  • VALUE: Passive AI-based 5G cell sniffing and analysis on RFSoC

SATCOM Ground-Side, Software & AI-based Jamming Detection

  • STATUS: Early Prototype (SBIR-funded prototype capability)
  • TRANSITION: Ground-segment software for SATCOM operators & integrators
  • VALUE: AI-powered jammer detection and emitter fingerprinting at the gateway. Seeking IQ data partners for validation

Supply Chain Risk Analysis: Procurement Data

  • STATUS: Advanced Prototype (SBIR-funded prototype capability, SBIR completed)
  • TRANSITION: Adapt/integrate into procurement systems (e.g. SAP)  for automated risk analysis
  • VALUE: Continuous procurement data analysis for supply chain risk indicators (high-risk, counterfeit etc.)

Supply Chain Risk Analysis: Circuit Boards

  • STATUS: Prototype (USAF AFWERX-funded prototype capability)
  • TRANSITION: Mature analysis capability and integrate into PCB security testing solution
  • VALUE: Innovative PCB BOM detection, enrichment, analysis features (anomalies etc.)

Vendor/Product Cybersecurity Scoring

  • STATUS: Early prototype (NIST-funded SBIR prototype capability)
  • TRANSITION: Integrate into vendor/product security visibility capabilities
  • VALUE: Scores cyber-hygiene of IT/OT/ICS vendors/products based on public data

Zero Trust Access Policy Automation

  • STATUS: Advanced prototype (NIST/EU/DoD-funded prototype capability)
  • TRANSITION: Enhance with AI and modernize, use for zero-trust access policy automation
  • VALUE: Uses model-driven security for reliable policy generation & testing; needs AI modernization

Data Cleansing Platform

  • STATUS: Advanced prototype (DoD-funded SBIR prototype capability)
  • TRANSITION: Extend data cleansing features, field for legacy data migration, analytics & AI/ML
  • VALUE: Flexible no/low-code platform that cleans and standardizes data to improve the reliability of analytics and AI outputs.
