DHS has announced that its Science and Technology Directorate Cybersecurity Division recently showcased new technologies developed by the Department of Energy’s National Laboratories for investors, integrators and IT companies to view and test.
DHS’s "transition-to-practice" program event took place in Silicon Valley and is intended to help transition the advanced prototypes of technologies that are ready for commercialization and bridge the gap between laboratories and the commercial market, according to DHS.
Part of the department’s missions is to ensure the essential functionality of critical infrastructure is sustained by working with stakeholders to protect their networks including those of the federal government.
DHS said the new federally-funded technologies include: Path Scan – an intrusion-detection system that thwarts cyber attacks by detecting anomalous network-hopping activity; Hone – a network traffic analyzer; Hyperion/FX – a malware detection and software assurance tool; and Choreographer – a moving target defense tool that detects when DNS connections are bypassed.
