DHS S&T Awards $199K to Bastille Networks for Final Testing of IOT Solution

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) has awarded $199,680 to Bastille Networks, Inc. of Atlanta, Georgia to deliver its Internet of Things (IoT) security solution that will enable system administrators to gain real-time situational awareness of threats on connected devices. This is a Phase 4 award under S&T’s Silicon Valley Innovation Program’s (SVIP’s) “Security for the Internet of Things” solicitation, which calls for novel ideas and technologies to improve situational awareness and security to detect, authenticate and update IoT components and systems.

IoT is a convergence of mobile devices, information technology networks and connected sensors and devices. As the number of connected devices grows, threats to IoT are increasing as bad actors find new ways to access valuable data. Bastille’s sensors collect radio frequency (RF) emission data from devices and send it to Bastille for machine-learning processing, enrichment and assessment, including recognizing and localizing cyber threats, which enable security teams to neutralize threats before harm is done.

In previous phases, Bastille surveyed wireless protocols used in critical infrastructure applications, such as power plants and water treatment facilities, to identify existing and missing protocols. In its fourth and final SVIP phase, Bastille will focus on implementing product features and enhancements to ready its solution for deployment to a DHS candidate site, improve functional usability for commercialization and identify future use cases for IoT monitoring.
