Cybermonic Wins DARPA Embedded Entrepreneurship Initiative Grant to Accelerate Growth of Cybersecurity Assistive AI

MCLEAN, VA — Cybermonic, LLC (https://cybermonic.com), a Washington DC-area cybersecurity technology company, announced today a grant received from the DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) Embedded Entrepreneurship Initiative (EEI). This grant will propel Cybermonic’s ability to advance its security innovations outside of the defense, government and NGO spaces and into the broader commercial market by aiding the recruitment of top entrepreneurs, and fostering new efforts in funding and commercialization. The goal of the EEI is to further accelerate Cybermonic’s development of graph-powered AI that speeds and informs how a security analyst handles event triage and response. This prestigious DARPA EEI award highlights the potential of Cybermonic’s technology to address the shortage of security personnel.

“Cybermonic is the first AI technology company that focuses on improving the efficiency and efficacy of cyber analysts” says Dr. Benjamin Bowman, Co-Founder and Co-CEO, Cybermonic. “We deliver this promise by automatically correlating and tuning your data using novel graph-based machine learning technology, and at the same time, exposing the backend decision-making to the cyber analysts for complete visibility and situational awareness. With the support of DARPA and EEI, we’ll be able to demonstrate these capabilities to the broader market.”

By late 2022, the Cybermonic team had developed its product of providing assistive AI to security analysts, which had successfully been deployed on an international enterprise network using data already aggregated in the Microsoft Sentinel SIEM.
