COVINGTON, Ky., Nov. 25 (UPI) -- The U.S. Air Force has awarded TiER1 Performance Solutions a phase II contract to continue development of insider threat recognition training methods.

U.S. company TiER1 was awarded the contract from the 711 Human Performance Wing at the Air Force Research Laboratory in Ohio. As part of the $750,000 phase II award, TiER1 will continue to support the Accelerated Learning for Cyber Insider Threat Reduction project.

Officials say XL-CITR is part of an effort to design a training system to teach military supervisors to detect insider threats in mission critical cyber networks to prevent possible harm.

"Our solution will provide a comprehensive training delivery platform that employs serious games and instructional support features for supervisors to practice skills in cyber threat detection," Terence Andre, TiER1 principal consultant.
