Grey Noise Announces US Department of Defense Contract | Cybersecurity Blog | Grey Noise

Summary: GreyNoise announced a production contract with the U.S. Department of Defense carrying a $30M USD ceiling, following an earlier 2021 prototype with the DoD's Defense Innovation Unit to help diagnose internet-wide scan-and-attack activity. The contract lets all DoD organizations purchase and use the GreyNoise platform over a 5-year period, and the company says trial prospects see 20-40% of alert traffic is noise while customers see alert volume reductions of 25% or more.
Why it matters: GreyNoise's own figures put 20-40% of trialed alert traffic as noise, and the DoD has now committed a $30M ceiling over five years to filter it - a signal that alert volume, not detection gaps, is where analyst time is being lost.
