"The US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has selected BAE Systems to develop data-driven, cyber-hunting tools that detect and analyze cyber threats to help protect extremely large enterprise networks," the release said.
The contract for Phase 1, 2, and 3 of the program is valued at approximately $5.2 million, the release added.

Because most current tools do not offer the scale and processing speed needed to adequately defend networks, the goal of DARPA’s Cyber-Hunting at Scale (CHASE) program is to develop, demonstrate, and evaluate new, automated cyber-defense tools, the release said.
BAE’s technology offers machine learning and cyberattack modeling to counter cyber threats that could currently go undetected, according to the release.
The project aims to improve defenses for commercial, government and military networks, the release said.
