DHS Pilot Program: A Success Story

June 15, 2025 6 min read By Eli Liang, CEO

We're proud to share the remarkable success of our collaboration with the Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). This pilot program demonstrates the transformative power of AI in government applications and sets a new standard for public-private partnerships in cybersecurity.

The Challenge

DHS CISA approached us with a critical need: analyze massive volumes of network security data to identify emerging cyber threats in real-time. Traditional approaches were struggling to keep pace with the volume and complexity of modern cyber attacks, leaving potential vulnerabilities undetected.

Project Requirements

  • FedRAMP Moderate Security: Full compliance with federal security standards
  • Massive Scale: Process 10TB+ of network data annually
  • Real-time Processing: Identify threats as they emerge
  • Explainable AI: Provide clear reasoning for all threat classifications

Our Solution

We deployed a customized version of our ClearPath AI platform specifically designed for cybersecurity applications. The solution combined our proprietary large language model with advanced anomaly detection algorithms to identify previously unknown threat patterns.

Key Technical Innovations

Distributed Processing Architecture

Our Kubernetes-orchestrated microservices architecture enabled horizontal scaling across multiple AWS GovCloud availability zones, ensuring high availability and performance under varying workloads.

Real-time Threat Classification

By fine-tuning our LLM on cybersecurity datasets, we achieved unprecedented accuracy in identifying novel attack vectors while maintaining sub-second response times.

Explainable AI Dashboard

Our React-based dashboard provided CISA analysts with clear, human-readable explanations for each threat classification, enabling rapid decision-making and threat response.

Exceptional Results

The pilot program exceeded all expectations, delivering outstanding performance across every metric:

Lessons Learned

This pilot program provided valuable insights that have informed our approach to government partnerships:

Security-First Architecture

Building security controls into the foundation of our platform from day one simplified the ATO process and exceeded federal requirements.

User-Centric Design

Close collaboration with CISA analysts ensured our AI explanations were intuitive and actionable, dramatically improving adoption rates.

Scalable Infrastructure

Our cloud-native architecture enabled seamless scaling to handle fluctuating workloads without compromising performance.

Looking Forward

The success of this pilot program has opened doors for expanded collaboration with federal agencies. We're already working on several follow-up initiatives that will bring AI-powered insights to additional government applications.

More importantly, this experience has reinforced our commitment to responsible AI development. Working with DHS CISA has elevated our security practices, explainability standards, and commitment to public service.
