Galois to develop new privacy-preserving and data-sharing platform

The U.S. Department of Energy recently awarded Galois a grant to develop TRIFECTA, a new platform that accommodates data privacy and data analysis.  Collecting and storing massive amounts of data is the norm for many organizations. Data storage is inexpensive, and the data helps inform decision-making across multiple levels of an organization. For example, these […]

Army Awards Phase II SBIR to Help Curb the Prohibitive Costs of Upgrading Legacy DoD Systems

This post originally appeared on the Adventium Labs website. Adventium was acquired by Galois in 2022. When upgrading or redesigning a complex system, like an aircraft, it is crucial to understand the ripple effect of design changes on the system’s resulting costs, especially costs related to re-certification. Small, local changes to any subsystem or component can have broad impacts on system requirements, including size, weight, and power budgets; bandwidth and processor utilization; timing constraints; safety requirements; and security controls.
