DoD ramps up development of a ‘cyber factory’

Cyber warfare, or warfare context of computers, online control systems and networks, continues to be a near-daily news item. The United States Cyber Command was formed in 2009 under the National Security Administration to address these cyber-attacks from both offensive and defensive positions.
Last month, Northrop Grumman was awarded a $54 million system coordinator contract to integrate capabilities for the Unified Platform, one of U.S. Cyber Command’s largest and most critical national security programs to date.
