In August 2018, DASA launched Phase 1 of the Predictive Cyber Analytics Competition.

Phase 1 of this competition sought proposals to:

• predict the most likely cyber events, preferably with a focus on forecasting future cyber threats attacks, events and actions allowing defence and security to better prepare for, anticipate and counter future threats
• predict optimal defensive cyber action
• use the predictions to enable proactive defence in a hostile and contested cyber environment, thereby reducing the impact of an attack and it’s likelihood of success

Overall 7 bids were successful with total funding of £920.4k awarded.

Phase 2 of the competition will be launching later this year and will be open to both new and existing suppliers.

Further details will be released on the DASA website.
