The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) announced on September 27 that it has awarded $200,000 to CryptoMove, Inc., to continue to enhance its dynamic defense data protection system for U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s (CBP) Small Unmanned Aircraft System (sUAS) security. This is the final phase of a project that was awarded under the Silicon Valley Innovation Program (SVIP) Small Unmanned Aircraft Capabilities Solicitation.
CryptoMove, a start-up based in San Mateo,
California, is developing capabilities to protect CBP sUAS platforms from
malicious actors. Its dynamic defense system and data fragmentation approach
for sUAS platforms that are embedded in all levels of the technology
architecture enable automated system resilience for connected devices.
“Because CBP is exploring the use of sUAS for
security operations, it is essential to protect these platforms from
interference and interruption of their vital mission,” said SVIP Managing
Director Melissa Oh. “This partnership will develop and test an innovative
security solution that enables CBP to focus on mission-critical activities.”
The final phase of the project will focus on applying finishing touches to enhance the user experience, increase functionality and complete final testing of an implemented sUAS platform defense system.
