The Department of Defense is requesting proposals from industry sources capable of providing a joint cyber hunt kit prototype designed to conduct hunt operations on defense networks.
The Defense Innovation Unit said the prototype project aims to develop a next-generation deployable hunt kit with commercial off-the-shelf technologies and open-source software capabilities to detect advanced persistent threats on DOD networks and analyze their tactics, techniques and procedures.
DOD expects the cyber hunt kit to function as a transportable “security operations center (SOC) in a box” and include applications for case management and workflow management and extended detection and response operations.
The Pentagon aims to award an other transaction agreement to a vendor to build a prototype hunt kit within four months. During this phase, the vendor must deliver a fully integrated and configured software tool designed to enhance workflows, dataflows and user experience.
The Potomac Officers Club will host the 2024 Cyber Summit on June 6 to hear from government and industry experts about the dynamic and ever-evolving role of cyber in the public sector. Register here!
