Newswise — WASHINGTON —The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) has awarded $1.3 million to 13 small businesses for the development of new cyber security technology.
Each business was awarded approximately $100,000 in preliminary funding through the DHS S&T Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program. The SBIR proposal solicitation, released in December 2015, included four topics developed by Cyber Security Division program managers to address the research and development needs of DHS components and the homeland security enterprise. Each of these small businesses may be eligible for further development funding based on their initial project results as well as its scientific and technical merit and perceived commercialization potential.
