Official Description

This topic is intended for technology proven ready to move directly into a Phase II. Therefore, a Phase I award is not required. The offeror is required to provide detailed documentation in the Direct to Phase II proposal which demonstrates accomplishment of a "Phase I-like" effort, including a feasibility study. This feasibility study should include an approach, architecture and previous demonstration of a limited-scope prototype with the ability to prevent or mitigate a single class of cyber-a...

Informational change · Description

Cyber Resiliency for Fog and Edge Computing Devices

  • New Q&A added (Q1): Asks whether using cryptographic verification to block execution of unauthenticated or tampered firmware, updates, or commands (supply-chain and remote-exploit attack classes) on an edge node counts as preventing a "single class of cyber-attack."
  • Second part of Q1: Asks whether the feasibility prototype must include autonomous detection and response, or whether automated prevention with logging is acceptable.

Why it matters: The answer is not yet provided in this version, so applicants cannot yet tell whether a prevention-only design (cryptographic verification plus logging) meets the single-attack-class requirement or whether they must build autonomous detection and response into the prototype. Applicants with prevention-focused architectures should watch for the official response before committing scope and budget, and should consider contacting the agency if the question remains unanswered near the close date.
