Raytheon Intelligence & Space, Raytheon Technologies, has launched a new hardware emulation and software analysis tool called DejaVM, which provides a virtualised environment for assessing and minimising cyber threats to mission-critical systems in modern networked spaces
DejaVM enables system-level cyber testing without requiring access to a limited number of highly specialised physical hardware assets. The tool creates an emulation environment that virtualises complex systems to support automated cyber testing. DejaVM focuses on improving software development, testing and security through its advanced analysis capabilities.
“The complexity of cyber threats that organisations face continues to escalate, demanding more sophisticated solutions to evaluate and reduce threats to those missions,” said John DeSimone, vice-president of Cybersecurity, Training and Services at RI&S. “This robust virtual environment helps our customers do exactly that.”
DejaVM provides an infrastructure that can be used to virtualise any system, providing advanced debugging capabilities that are not possible on the actual platform. Any code on the system can be debugged, memory can be modified, and vulnerabilities can be detected wherever they occur.
“Our team of experts has worked tirelessly to launch DejaVM to enable customers to emulate critical network systems to identify and mitigate cyber vulnerabilities before our adversaries can exploit them,” said Teresa Shea, vice-president of Cyber Offense and Defense Experts (CODEX) at RI&S. “Now more than ever, virtual cyber threat reduction environments are critical to protecting the systems our work and lives rely upon.”
