DETER

Overview
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate partnered with the National Science Foundation to create the Defense Technology Experimental Research (DETER) testbed. The DETER testbed is used by both DHS-funded researchers, the larger cyber security research community including government, industry, and academia and educational users to test and evaluate cyber security technologies.

The DETER testbed is used to test and evaluate cyber security technologies by over 200 organizations from more than 20 states and 17 countries, including major DHS-funded researchers, government, industry, academia and educational users.
