SOFWERX, an innovation platform co-founded by the U.S. Special Operations Command, granted Rebellion Defense a follow-on contract to gain extended access to an automated cybersecurity platform.
The award follows a demonstration of Nova Software, a product designed to mimic cyber kill chains and other advanced persistent threats, Rebellion said Tuesday.
Nova employs Mitre’s ATT&CK knowledge base framework to facilitate adversary emulation and seeks to help defense teams identify network segments with high-security risk.
Rebellion intends for its technology to help SOFWERX and USSOCOM get ahead of adversaries in discovering weaknesses across a network.
USSOCOM created SOFWERX in 2015 under a partnership intermediary agreement with the nonprofit DEFENSEWERX organization to explore technology ideas and tools for warfighter use.
