CHANTILLY, Va., Nov. 14, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Perspecta Inc.
(NYSE: PRSP), announced today that its innovative applied
research arm, Perspecta Labs, was awarded a prime position on the

research, develop, test and validate transformative technologies
for secure architecture, including extensions, and tools to
programming languages for efficient, provable security.
"Perspecta Labs is excited to be a part of GAPS and to
contribute to critical ERI objectives for assured electronics,"
said Petros Mouchtaris, Ph.D., president of Perspecta Labs. "We
will leverage our extensive know-how and experience on multi-level
security, information assurance and software engineering to provide
our DARPA customer with an advanced solution to mitigate against
fraudulent components, data exfiltration and the insertion of
malicious hardware or software."
The Perspecta Labs solution will deliver security technologies
for multi-level and cross-domain systems. Specifically, the
solution will provide compiler and user tools that support software
engineers in efficiently building provably secure architectures
that can isolate and protect against high-risk transactions across
system life cycles.
