\n RTX BBN Technologies to advance high-fidelity exploit chain testing and evaluation<\/i>\u00a0<\/b>\n <\/p>\n

\n <\/span>, Aug. 5, 2025<\/span><\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — RTX’s (NYSE: RTX) BBN Technologies was awarded a contract from DARPA to support its\u00a0Intelligent Generation of Tools for Security<\/a>, or INGOTS, program. INGOTS aims to strengthen cybersecurity by developing advanced methods to identify and mitigate complex exploit chains, preventing their use in real-world attacks.<\/p>\n

Exploit chains pose a growing threat, amplified by the increasing complexity and sophistication of cyberattacks. The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency<\/a>‘s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog has surpassed 1,300 entries, with steady growth reflecting the increasing number of threats targeting essential services and networks. Despite this rising threat, current assessment methods rely heavily on manual analysis, requiring significant expertise and time. INGOTS seeks to address this challenge by automating the creation, modification, modeling and analysis of exploit chains to enable faster and more effective security interventions.<\/p>\n

“Effectively countering exploit chains requires more than just identifying individual vulnerabilities. It demands a system that can replicate real-world attack scenarios and anticipate potential risks before they are exploited,” said Jack Dietz<\/span>, BBN principal investigator.<\/p>\n

To support this effort, BBN will apply its expertise in testbed architecture to develop the System Test of Android at Large-scale Accelerating Generation and Modeling for INGOTS Test and Evaluation, or STALAGMITE. This system will serve as a comprehensive platform for testing and evaluating exploit analysis tools, offering key capabilities such as:<\/p>\n
