The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) awarded a $13,562,839 Definitive Contract to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania, doing business as Clinical Practices of the University of Pennsylvania, to develop and deliver "SEVER AND PROTECT: SEPARATE ENVIRONMENT FOR VULNERABILITY ELIMINATION AND REDUCTION AND POLICY RULES ORGANIZED TO ENFORCE COMPARTMENT TRANSITIONS." This contract, which does not have a set-aside designation, is part of DARPA's Compartmentalization and Privilege Management (CPM) program. The CPM program aims to create tools, hardware, and software to automatically restructure legacy software systems into compartmentalized, limited-privilege environments that can prevent initial cyber penetrations from escalating into successful attacks.
As a subcontractor on this effort, The Charles Stark Draper Laboratory, Inc. (Draper) will leverage its expertise in areas such as guidance, navigation, control systems, and autonomous systems to support the development of the automated compartmentalization and privilege policy enforcement capabilities required under the CPM program. This contract award builds on Draper's extensive history of providing specialized engineering and technical services to the Department of Defense and other federal agencies through both prime and subcontractor roles.
