The contract will deliver Wraithwatch’s autonomous cyber defense system, which continuously models networks, computes attack paths in real time, and deploys defensive mitigations at machine speed. The platform uses AI agents that swarm, hunt, and correlate across security data sources to identify and neutralize cyber threats before they can be exploited.
“Recent developments in frontier AI, allowing for capabilities like recursive self-improvement, swarming, and exploit discovery, mean that the capacity for offensive attack automation is going vertical with no corresponding defensive counterpressure, Wraithwatch is that counterpressure,” said Nik Seetharaman, Founder and CEO of Wraithwatch. “Frontier AI labs, independent researchers, and DARPA itself are all arriving at the same conclusion. We need to rapidly field capabilities involving hyper-autonomy for defense to counter the coming hyper-autonomy of offense.”
Wraithwatch was founded by operators who built cyber defense and counterespionage programs protecting rockets, weapons systems, and critical national security infrastructure. The company’s platform creates a continuously updated digital twin of an organization’s environment, enabling security teams, executives, and boards to immediately understand imminent threats to their networks.
