🕵Office of Naval Research awards GrammaTech $9M for Cyber-Hardening Security Research.
ITHACA, NY – October 2, 2017 / GrammaTech, Inc., a leading developer of advanced cybersecurity solutions, announced today that it has been awarded a $9M, three-year contract from the Office of Naval Research (ONR), a division of the United States Department of the Navy, to perform research and development into cutting-edge techniques for protecting software from cyber-attacks.
The goal of GrammaTech’s contribution to the overall Navy program is to advance the field of transforming existing software applications so that they are tailored for specific new situations.
GrammaTech’s approach will automate the removal of irrelevant layers of abstraction, indirection, and other inefficiencies that are introduced into applications as a consequence of modern software-development practices.
GrammaTech’s system will be built from binary code transformation technologies that contributed to the Ithaca-based firm’s success at the DARPA Cyber Grand Challenge in 2016, where GrammaTech was awarded a million-dollar prize for its second-place finish.
