PHYLUM INC — Department of Defense SBIR Phase I: AF203-CSO1

Description

As the USAF seeks to maintain its competitive edge against near-peers like Russia and China, our national security depends upon trusted technologies. Based on a framework that centers the development, security, and operations (DevSecOps) of software, AF Chief Information Officer Nicolas Chaillan is urging rapid advancement of our warfighting capabilities in cyberspace. By leveraging DevSecOps concepts, Phylum’s tools offer a proactive approach to security instead of reacting after a breach has occurred. Phylum’s next-generation cyber tools arm the warfighter with a more robust scope of our national security.  Rooted in DevSecOps, Phylum’s innovative tools secure software supply chains. Phylum’s core product combines advanced analytics and machine learning to identify threats, bad actors, and vulnerabilities within the open source coding packages that comprise the makeup of nearly all current software. By securing coders (people) and the coding libraries they use (tools), Phylum prioritizes security from the beginning of the development process. As the USAF expands into the agile fielding of innovative technology through software factories, protecting against compromised software packages is critical to ensure that the pace of our security matches the pace of our development. Phylum’s technology allows preventative security through dynamic tools to stay ahead in software development.
