Air Force awards cybersecurity contract to Shift5

Cybersecurity company Shift5 won a contract with the Air Force Cyber Resiliency of Weapon Systems office, the company announced.

Shift5 provides operational technology for a range of Department of Defense and commercial platforms. This contract is a Small Business Innovative Research Phase III award, an extension of Shift5’s current SBIR Phase II project.  

This award is a result of Air Force interest in the disruptive cybersecurity technology provided by Shift5. This project will take Shift5 cybersecurity technology and transform it to a micro-form factor prototype. This miniaturization will enable a wider range of use cases, to include those that are extremely size, weight, and power-sensitive.
