CHANTILLY, Va., April 10, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Perspecta Inc.
(NYSE: PRSP), a leading U.S. government services provider,
announced today that its innovative applied research arm, Perspecta
Labs, has received a $5.7 million
contract modification for continued work on the Defense Advanced
Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Edge-Directed Cyber Technologies
for Reliable Mission Communication (EdgeCT) program.
As a performer on the EdgeCT program, Perspecta Labs developed
an edge-based system that provides real-time service restoration
and situational awareness to defend critical network services
against a wide range of network disruptions and cyber-attacks;
known as Distributed Enclave Defense Using Configurable Edges or
DEDUCE. This additional work will focus on transitioning the DEDUCE
system to a more broadly available offering in support of various
U.S. government customers. This will provide much-needed visibility
into WAN infrastructure problems and the ability to take immediate
action and mitigate service outages.
"The increasing complexity of WAN infrastructure, along with its
susceptibility to cyberattacks, can
result in frequent and lengthy interruptions to critical services,"
said Petros Mouchtaris, Ph.D., president of Perspecta Labs. "We
look forward to continuing to support DARPA in transitioning this
innovative system to additional users to enable mission-aware
service assurance."
Program testing and independent evaluation show that Perspecta
Labs' DEDUCE can identify network disruptions to restore services
within seconds, while incorporating customer-specified flow
priorities and information delivery deadlines. DEDUCE can install
on a wide variety of form-factor equipment at the network edge. Its
graphical user interface and analytics provide real-time
situational awareness and detailed characterizations to facilitate
diagnosis and repair.
