[admin]

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is moving forward with the National Cyber Range. Multimillion-dollar contracts have been awarded to Lockheed and Johns Hopkins University to come up with prototypes to revolutionize the state of the art for large-scale cyber testing. The National Cyber Range will provide an advanced computer and data networking laboratory in which experts can assess information assurance and survivability tools; replicate the kinds of large and complex computer networks that support U.S. Department of Defense weapons and operations; conduct several large cyber security experiments at the same time, conduct realistic tests of the U.S. Global Information Grid (GIG); and develop and deploy revolutionary cyber testing capabilities.
