This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities, under the Integrative Activities federal grant program (CFDA 47.083), provides $400,000 to North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2025.

The funding supports research to develop an early warning framework for cyber threats targeting operational technology systems. The framework introduces intelligent interaction decoys that mimic the behavior of heterogeneous operational technologies to facilitate fast, adaptive attack collection, characterization, detection and prediction. It also investigates the feasibility of a deep programmable, open and software-defined infrastructure to scale this capability across commodity servers securely and efficiently. Outcomes from this work aim to advance the science of securing operational technologies and inspire more attack-resilient designs and deployments.
