Unveiling METALLIC: A Multi-Million Dollar Investment into Cybersecurity

Researchers are receiving more than $4 million from DARPA to develop a new framework to analyze and model sophisticated attacks on software.

A common tactic cybercriminals use is an exploit chain, a series of interconnected steps or vulnerabilities that attackers exploit to breach software systems. Each step leverages the capability achieved in the preceding step, forming a systematic pathway to compromise.

Recognizing the severity of this threat, researchers at the School of Cybersecurity and Privacy (SCP) at Georgia Tech will work with Trusted Science and Technology Inc. to turn Metrology for Assessing the Leverage of and Liability for Compromises (METALLIC) into a working prototype of a security modeling and assessment framework.
