3. Economics
Government support includes access to up to 256 Nvidia B200 GPUs; no dataset-specific cash consideration disclosed. Economics scope: bundled program support. Strategic Signal has not estimated undisclosed consideration.
4. Proprietary data
Approximately 830 TB of high-quality real-world operational and security data from consortium members across power, finance, telecommunications, science, semiconductors, defense, and aerospace. Historical depth: not_disclosed. Refreshability: consortium operational sources likely renewable.
5. Rights and restrictions
Consortium/government program; detailed member-level controls are not disclosed. Ownership: no disclosed transfer. Training: yes explicit. Post-training: yes model specialization.
6. Why the data matters for AI
Train defensive and offensive cybersecurity foundation models and validate them in seven critical-industry domains. Exceptional: attack detection, analysis, response, and infrastructure operations can link threats, interventions, and outcomes.
