The U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects
Agency (DARPA) has awarded BAE Systems
a $8.6 million contract to develop technology
designed to quickly restore power to the U.S.
electric grid after a catastrophic failure caused
by a cyber attack.
As part of DARPA’s Rapid Attack Detection, Iso-
lation, and Characterization Systems (RADICS)
program, BAE Systems’ technology quickly iso-
lates both enterprise IT and power infrastructure
networks from all conduits of malicious attack.
