San Diego, Calif. – October 10, 2024 – ObjectSecurity, a leader in solving complex, evolving defense and industrial cybersecurity and supply chain risk challenges, today announced that it has been selected for a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract from the US Department of Defense (DoD) Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA).
Based on the original solicitation entitled, “Application of Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, and Data Science techniques to improve NL Data Management and Application Services” [1], the Phase II SBIR focuses on developing a next generation rapid application development platform and database management prototype integrated with intelligent cybersecurity protection measures, including an intelligent, self-learning cybersecurity control monitoring system prototype. As stated in the solicitation – “Nuclear Logistics Technical Division (NLT) is interested in developing a next generation rapid application development platform and database management prototype integrated with intelligent cybersecurity protection measures.” [1]
The project titled “NLC-ADP (No/Low-Code – Application Development Platform)” [2], carried out by ObjectSecurity LLC, aims for successful technology development, DTRA/DoD fielding and commercialization that will result in addressing cybersecurity through low-code application development platform enhancements that will continually monitor the cyber-health of the application environment and alert system administrators as to anomalous conditions during Nuclear Logistics management. The project is tying AI/ML, database management, and cybersecurity into a single solution and enabling the rapid development of applications for Nuclear Logistics data and systems [2].
ObjectSecurity LLC will research and develop a number of innovative approaches including Machine Learning (ML), Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Data Science (DS) services, as well as advanced binary analysis, to identify and alert cybersecurity vulnerabilities and anomalies, as well as operational anomalies, such as network, storage or processing issues before actual system failures occur.
“The Phase II SBIR award marks a significant achievement for ObjectSecurity, highlighting the robustness of our scientific innovation, which has successfully passed a rigorous peer review process,” said Ulrich Lang, CEO of ObjectSecurity. “This award enables us to focus on critical research and development for DTRA and other stakeholders. SBIR contracts provide us the opportunity to explore advanced concepts, which in turn accelerate product development, allowing us to commercialize groundbreaking technologies that will deliver substantial value to DTRA and our customers across DoD, the Government, and various industries.
Our ObjectSecurity OT.AI Platform is a binary vulnerability analysis product for analyzing software applications, including no/low-code applications. Most of our solutions leverage state-of-the art approaches such as dynamic analysis, microexecution, rehosting, simulation, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML) and more. We are committed to leading this initiative with DTRA to protect DTRA systems from adversaries by delivering advanced next-generation security technology solutions.” [4]
“The Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs are highly competitive programs that encourage domestic small businesses to engage in Federal Research/Research and Development (R/R&D) with the potential for commercialization. Through a competitive awards-based program, SBIR and STTR enable small businesses to explore their technological potential and provide the incentive to profit from its commercialization. By including qualified small businesses in the nation’s R&D arena, high-tech innovation is stimulated, and the United States gains entrepreneurial spirit as it meets its specific research and development needs.” [3]
