Since its very first patent in 1967 for the multiple-channel image dissector tube, MITRE has been granted more than 270 patents issued through the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
More than 250 employees were awarded over 100 patents in the past five years. "We believe innovation lies at the intersection of diversity and inclusion, and we're proud to actively integrate our inclusion, diversity, and equity efforts into the very fabric of our work and organization," says Kathleen Federico, senior vice president, chief people, brand, and communications officer.
One recent MITRE project has led to seven patent applications, three of which have been granted.
"We realized there was a universal need for tools that anyone could use to help detect, respond, and recover from attacks on cyber physical systems," says Suresh Damodaran, principal investigator on the Cyber Streaming Effects and Analytics Languages project.
The team developed a suite of tools to help non-cyber experts defend against attacks. The tools are flexible enough to be integrated into a variety of platforms — from a naval vessel to a power plant or a gas pump.
