DARPA soliciting research proposals for cyberattack prevention, response

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), announced in December that it will be soliciting research proposals to develop technologies for detecting and recovering from cyberattacks on critical U.S. infrastructure.

The agency said that the venture focuses on early attack detection, network isolation and threat characterization in response to persistent cyber attacks to the U.S. power grid and dependent systems.

Potentially relevant technologies include anomaly detection, planning and automated reasoning, mapping of conventional and industrial control systems networks, ad hoc network formation, analysis of industrial control systems networks, ad hoc network formation, analysis of industrial control systems protocols, and rapid forensic characterization of cyber threats in industrial control system devices.

Proposals for the $77 million project are due by Feb. 11.

The announcement is available here.
