The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency has awarded PFP Cybersecurity a contract to study cybersecurity technologies designed to provide threat intelligence and detection to secure Internet of Things and embedded systems.
PFP said Friday the new technology will work to protect IoT-connected devices such as power grids, smart devices and cars against cyber attacks.
The company will work under DARPA’s Leveraging the Analog Domain for Security program, which seeks to de-couple security-monitoring services from the protected system.
LADS will instead look at analog emissions from the device such as electromagnetic and acoustic emissions, thermal output variation and power fluctuation.
