Chemring launches Bio-inspired Cyber Security System

Perception’s™ Bio-inspired technology mimics the autonomic fight or flight fear response mechanism embedded in all mammals. By applying this response mechanism to cyber defence, Chemring has been able to create a neural network architecture that is designed to win the battle against unknown and emerging threats.
Unlike typical rules-based systems, Perception™ will identify malicious activity and new attacks as they emerge. The system will also monitor for and detect any slow, unauthorised data exfiltration, even when obfuscation techniques are used to evade traditional rules-based detection techniques.

Stephen Grinham, Managing Director, Chemring Technology Solutions, said: “Chemring has a long and rich heritage of internet and cyber defence capabilities and Perception™ is the result of over 20 years’ experience of developing counter threat solutions. Cyber-attacks are a significant and continually evolving threat and Perception™ is uniquely placed to quickly identify threats that other systems cannot.”
