The U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has
selected BAE Systems to develop data-driven, cyber-hunting tools
that detect and analyze cyber threats to help protect extremely
large enterprise networks. The contract for Phase 1, 2, and 3 of
the program is valued at approximately $5.2 million.

Because most current tools do not offer the scale and processing
speed needed to adequately defend enterprise networks, the goal of
DARPA’s Cyber-Hunting at Scale (CHASE) program is to develop,
demonstrate, and evaluate new, automated cyber-defense tools for
use within and across these types of networks. BAE Systems’ unique
solution, which combines advanced machine learning and cyber-attack
modeling, intends to address this critical need by automatically
detecting and defeating advanced cyber threats that could currently
go undetected. The result could be better-defended commercial
networks, using existing storage and existing resources. The
technology could also be used to help protect government and
military networks.
“Today, advanced cyber attacks within many enterprise networks
go entirely unnoticed among an overwhelming amount of network data,
or they require intensive manual analysis by expert teams,” said
Anne Taylor, product line director for the Cyber Technology group
at BAE Systems. “Our technology aims to alleviate resource
constraints to actively hunt for cyber threats that evade security
measures, enhancing the collective cyber defense of these
networks.”
BAE Systems’ efforts on the CHASE program builds on previous
company work in real-time, cyber-defense based anomaly detection,
evidence-driven decision making, and related techniques for DARPA,
the U.S. Army, and the U.S. Navy. The company’s subcontractors and
research partners on the program include Digital Operatives, Dr.
Ruslan Salakhutdinov from Carnegie Mellon University, and Dr.
Farshad Khorrami and team from New York University. BAE Systems’
work for the program will be performed in Arlington, Virginia.
