Cyber Operations and Analysis Technology

The Cyber Operations and Analysis Technology Group is dedicated to real-world impact in the cyber domain. We research complex technical problems, develop groundbreaking technologies, and prototype systems that directly address national security challenges. Our goal is to improve cybersecurity, enhance operational effectiveness, and deliver measurable results for our sponsors.

We work across a variety of cutting-edge national security applications to

  • Enhance the cybersecurity and resiliency of critical infrastructure and other operational technology
  • Equip the nation’s cyber operators with technology to execute their missions more effectively, more efficiently, and at scale
  • Assess and quantify risk posed by adversary cyber threats to key national security missions
  • Develop advanced analytics and processing techniques to generate timely, actionable insights from cyber data
