The Defense Innovation Unit awarded a $45 million to a Silicon Valley-based
tech startup to perform cybersecurity testing on Defense Department weapon

The company, ForAllSecure, has been prototyping its cybersecurity testing
platform, known as Mayhem, with DoD components for more than three years. DIU

testing for vulnerabilities in weapons systems.
