Trailblazing Defensive Cyber Analytics Platform Provides Unmatched Speed, Efficiency, and Real-Time Threat Analysis in Streamlined Procurement Hub for DoD Customers

FAIRFAX, Va., July 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Craxel, a leading-edge software company, announced today that its patented Black Forest Reaper integrated cyber defense platform has achieved “Awardable” status through the Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office’s (CDAO) Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace.

The Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace is the premier offering of Tradewinds, the Department of Defense’s (DoD’s) suite of tools and services designed to accelerate the procurement and adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI)/Machine Learning (ML), data, and analytics capabilities.

“We are honored to earn our second ‘Awardable’ status in the Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace, this time for our breakthrough Black Forest Reaper defensive cyber analytics platform,” said David Enga, Founder and CEO of Craxel. “Craxel is committed to delivering game-changing solutions to our government customers and proud to provide the DoD with a capability like no other for rapidly detecting malicious cyber activity in massive datasets over time. Black Forest Reaper, along with Black Forest Data Platform™ have both been identified as awardable capabilities by CDAO to accelerate data analytics and AI within the DoD, and both products are immediately available for procurement by government customers without further competition. This provides DoD and military customers with an opportunity to procure software and engineering services immediately, either piloting or proceeding to production deployment.”

Craxel currently holds seven patents for the computer science breakthroughs powering Black Forest technology, with additional patents pending. The company achieved their first “Awardable” status with their initial Black Forest Data Platform submission in June 2024.

Essential Technology

Black Forest Reaper is designed to meet the complex needs of the government and large enterprise environments, offering several key benefits:

• High-Speed Data Ingestion and Indexing: The platform can manage vast amounts of data in real time, leveraging Craxel’s patented O(1) multidimensional indexing technology. This allows it to process millions of cybersecurity datapoints per second, providing unparalleled speed and efficiency.
• Holistic Cyber Defense: A unified cyber platform supports the entire end-to-end workflow from cyber threat intelligence analysis, detection, and remediation.
• Ingest Data from Any Source: The robust ingest framework supports ingesting STIX, NetFlow, endpoint, and DNS data and provides a pluggable framework so any data source can be rapidly integrated. End user and machine-to-machine interfaces are delivered by the pluggable UX framework and Native/SQL interfaces, respectively.
• Time Series Knowledge Graphs: By rapidly constructing time series knowledge graphs, Black Forest Reaper can quickly map out relationships between events over time, allowing analysts to connect the dots between datapoints. This comprehensive view of network activity is crucial for expeditiously identifying patterns and potential threats.
• Real-Time Observability: The platform offers real-time visibility into network activity, enabling organizations to monitor their systems live and detect suspicious or malicious activities as they occur.
• Threat Intelligence Correlation: Black Forest Reaper rapidly correlates network activity with threat intelligence data, facilitating swift identification of threats and vulnerabilities and allowing for faster, more informed decision-making by analysts.
• Resource Efficiency: Craxel’s unique O(1) technology decouples performance and cost from data set size, making the platform extremely resource-efficient and delivering powerful, high performance results while using low computing resources.
