GrammaTech, a developer of commercial embedded software assurance tools and cybersecurity solutions, has been awarded a $8.4 million, four-year contract from Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), to develop technology that generates and deploys secure configurations to commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) equipment rapidly and largely autonomously.

GrammaTech will combine its binary analysis technology with contributions from LGS Innovations, headquartered in Herndon, VA, SRI International of Menlo Park, CA, and Assured Information Security (AIS) of Rome, NY, the company said in a statement.
