Malware sniffer is latest cyber technology to get DHS push toward marketplace

Hyperion, as the software is called, was one of the first technologies selected for DHS’s Transition to Practice, or TTP, program — back in 2012 when it was launched. It was licensed to Manassas, Virginia-based Lenvio this month after the company was spun off from R&K Cyber last year. Hyperion had previously been non-exclusively licensed to R&K. “Obtaining an exclusive technology license … helps us secure a more competitive position to commercialize Hyperion as we grow our company,” said B.K.
