ASSURED INFORMATION SECURITY, INC. — Department of Defense STTR Phase II: AF20C-TCSO1
ASSURED INFORMATION SECURITY, INC. — STTR Phase II award from Department of Defense.
Phase II STTR prototype / development signal
- Phase II is where Department of Defense funds deeper R&D after feasibility. Incumbents with Phase II history are serious competitors on adjacent topics.
- Use this award as past-performance context and to map customer organizations for STRATFI/TACFI-style transition planning.
- At $1,800,000, this is a large obligation for typical SBIR Phase sizing — worth reviewing for scope breadth and teaming opportunity.
- Topic code AF20C-TCSO1 links this award to a solicitation family — search the same topic stem for incumbents and recompete timing.

Description
Assured Information Security, Inc. (AIS), in collaboration with Colorado State University (CSU) and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), proposes a second (or sequential) Phase II of the Byte-Taint Resonance Imaging (ByteRI) STTR effort. This iteration of the ByteRI program will expand upon the binary analysis and program behavior analysis concepts identified in the original effort and incorporate new concepts to demonstrate the benefits (e.g., speed and efficiency) of these techniques to the software life cycle management process for IoT platforms. This effort will build upon previous ByteRI research performed by AIS and incorporate new technologies and team members identified within the DARPA Assured Micropatching, or AMP, program. The ByteRI approach will leverage AMP techniques to showcase the impact a micropatch, a small binary patch, can have to development and deployment schedules for vulnerabilities in operational IoT platforms.
