COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado -- Cyberspatial Inc. announces it has been selected by AFWERX for a Phase 1 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) award to conduct research related to mapping and discovery of Mission Relevant Terrain in Cyberspace (MRT-C) across Department of the Air Force (DAF) networks.
The Air Force Research Laboratory and AFWERX have partnered to streamline the SBIR and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) process by accelerating the small business experience through faster proposal to award timelines, changing the pool of potential applicants by expanding opportunities to small business and eliminating bureaucratic overhead by continually implementing process improvement changes in contract execution.
The DAF began offering the Open Topic SBIR/STTR program in 2018 which expanded the range of innovations the DAF funded and now on December 15, 2023, Cyberspatail started its journey to create and provide innovative capabilities that will strengthen National Defense.
“We are excited to help the Department of the Air Force to meet their 2022 NDAA requirement to map the entirety of their cyber networks,” said Lawrence Nunn, co-founder and CEO of Cyberspatial.
“Teleseer is the only tool in existence that can discover, map, and visualize mission networks of this magnitude at the atomic level,” Nunn continued.
“More importantly, it is 100% passive,” said Nunn, “So there is zero degradation or overhead cost to daily defense operations.”
Our mission is to make powerful and easy-to-use cyber defense software accessible to everyone. By transforming technical data into visual stories, our platform, Teleseer, helps you see, know, and share network knowledge faster and easier with others, Nunn said.
Stronger security comes by equipping our cyber defenders with powerful tools designed to amplify human intelligence, not to replace it. Teleseer features:
- Visual Analysis: Understand large volumes of complex data and explain what's happening on any network environment with ease.
- Tech Integration: Combining advanced technologies into an analysis workbench that saves time and increases productivity.
- Accessible for Everyone: Anyone with a basic level of instruction can become an effective analyst without a costly budget.
The Air Force Research Laboratory is the primary scientific research and development center for the Department of the Air Force.
