Cyber Threat Hunter

This Phase I effort investigates Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) solutions to enhance MDA Defense Industrial Base (DIB) Cyber Risk Management (DCRM) Operations. AI/ML solutions detect and help defeat evolving and expanding cyber risks and threats. This has advantages over traditional rule based systems and role based access control. Current solutions are brittle in the face of emerging threats. AI/ML systems, on the other hand, are able to learn patterns in new threats. In Phase I, Quantum Ventura will adapt existing Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 4+ ideas for AI/ML solutions to detect and recognize cyber threats. AI/ML systems include clustering algorithms, deep learning and transformer-based models. Work will investigate applying these technologies to detect and thwart cyber threats in MDA DIB. If successful in Phase II, the technology can be optimized and demonstrated outside of a proof of concept. Approved for Public Release | 24-MDA-11906 (16 Sep 24)
