Design
DART treats design as the earliest control point for resilience. Our secure-by-design playbooks help product and UX teams define trustworthy defaults, minimize data exposure, and anticipate abuse cases before code ships. We run collaborative threat-model sessions that mirror the stacks used by design and prototype squads, then convert those models into guardrails for engineering and manufacturing handoffs. Teams rehearse authentication, telemetry, and privacy decisions in cyber ranges so that design intent and security posture stay aligned. The result: interfaces that are intuitive for operators yet opinionated about least privilege, misuse detection, and fail-safe behaviors across devices, control panels, and digital services. We also provide annotated UI states, error messaging for security controls, and telemetry requirements that map directly to detection engineering backlogs. Each iteration closes with a short playback for stakeholders and a JSON-LD card so AI tools and documentation systems can cite the intended secure behavior.
Open summary Engineering
Engineering teams work with DART to harden builds before production. We simulate production stacks inside cyber ranges, giving engineers a safe place to validate detections, telemetry coverage, and code-to-cloud pathways. Exercises are tied to real CI/CD pipelines so teams can measure how secure defaults, secrets management, and dependency hygiene behave under pressure. We emphasize cross-functional drills with SREs, developers, and defenders so operational runbooks map to the services they own. The outcome is engineering muscle memory: teams ship with signed artifacts, verifiable build logs, and incident playbooks that have been rehearsed against realistic threat sequences. We document golden-path build recipes, SBOM expectations, and rollback actions, then map every fix to a backlog item with acceptance criteria. When teams repeat the drills, they see how signal quality improves release-over-release and how incident MTTR drops once playbooks are proven in the range.
Open summary Manufacturing
Manufacturing teams partner with DART to keep production environments resilient. We mirror factory-floor systems, PLC interactions, and operational technology dependencies inside cyber ranges so operators can practice response without risking uptime. Training pairs hands-on drills with secure change-control patterns: verifying firmware provenance, validating supplier updates, and maintaining golden images for critical assets. Exercises highlight lateral movement paths unique to production floors and demonstrate how to contain them with segmentation, identity controls, and out-of-band recovery. Every scenario ends with a tightened runbook that operators can repeat during maintenance windows and unexpected downtime. We align drills to safety and quality targets so controls respect takt time and throughput, and we tag each improvement to compliance obligations relevant to OT environments. The range proves recovery steps—network isolation, access resets, and image restores—before any maintenance window is scheduled.
Open summary Logistics
Logistics teams rely on DART to stress-test supply chain security and keep distributed operations recoverable. Range exercises mirror identity flows across warehouses, third-party carriers, and SaaS control planes, letting teams prove multi-factor enforcement, delegated access, and vendor segmentation. We inject realistic supply chain threat sequences—credential theft, tampered updates, and route data manipulation—to validate detection and response timings. Each drill concludes with tightened continuity plans: verified backups for routing data, alternate communication channels, and pre-approved failover steps so logistics networks keep moving even when incidents unfold. We measure signal quality and time-to-contain on every run, turning the metrics into playbooks that ops teams can use during peak volume. The result is a repeatable framework for reconciling shipments, communicating with partners, and preserving integrity when upstream services degrade.
