The Cyber Defense Technology Experimental Research (DETER) testbed and associated testing methodologies research projects are funded by the Department of Homeland Security, and the National Science Foundation.

The Cyber Defense Technology Experimental Research Network (DETER) project provides an experimental
network testbed that supports the development andnext-generation information security technologies for cyber defense. The testbed provides the necessary infrastructure - networks, facilities, tools, and supporting processes - to support national-scale experimentation on emerging security research and advanced development technologies.
