“At Perspecta Labs, we consider it a great privilege to put our innovation and applied research to work to protect our warfighters and their missions,” said Petros Mouchtaris, Ph.D., president of Perspecta Labs. “We are excited to continue the technology transition and maturation efforts of our Bus Defender solution so warfighters can have improved situational awareness to more safely carry out their missions in the face of increasing cyberattacks.”
